Rock Paper Scissors |
It’s rock paper scissors as to whether |
I will get over you at all |
It’s hand against hand and both hands are mine |
It’s standing in a circular line |
Which is not to say that i’m not also happy |
A happy meal with a surprise inside |
Surprise surprise here’s another bright light in your eyes |
Exposing all the stuff you’re not calculating enough to hide |
This melancholy that i carry makes me feel so grown up |
At my kitchen table doing shots of resignation |
I never thought i’d see the day when i would say i give up |
And break the stallions of my wildest expectations |
I do not want to know you this way |
Surrounded by so much pain |
But how am i supposed to let go of you this way |
Like a bird into the sky of my brain? |
I think i could accept all these dark colors |
As just part of some bigger color scheme |
If it wasn’t for that drippy string quartet of sadness |
Underscoring each smiling scene |
Desire drags me right out of myself |
A gas-soaked rope tied to a piece of coal |
And i’m getting pretty good at looking at the bright side |
While the flames rip along the sand and swallow me whole |
