Desperate People Do Desperate Things
Set a house on fire
And don’t turn back,
Take a drag of smoke,
Hear a ribcage crack,
Let an ***** fall
And a lone soul fail,
Watch as a star
drops like hail.
Bite a rotting body
With no distaste,
Fill an esophagus
With dirt and clay,
Swallow sandy water
That’s been washed away,
Pretend that when the moon
comes up, it’s day.
Pour a glass of gasoline
And say it’s wine,
Light a bomb inside
And say it’s fine,
Throw away a million dollars
With a smile,
Peel the value of a property,
Tile by tile.
Desperate people
Do
Desperate
Things.
There’s no convincing
Someone
Who’s not in the
mind to
Think.
