He hated the smell of cigarettes in her hair / He also hated her childish games of truth or dare / It breaks his heart just a little to see her smile / In truth it kills him tear his chest open I dare you child / What will it take? / His life-force on a platter? / Or better yet some abstract art constructed of blood splatters / Memory matter intimacy / Translation / He hearts her and she fucks him indifferently / And endlessly she’ll use and abuse / And now they both lose all that they worked so hard to make bloom / So now they amuse the notion that they made it through the ocean / That this ship was far from sinkin / That she didn’t slip him potion / “Momma” he screamed / “How’d you get to be so wicked? / How come I’m the one that tried to give and now I’m gettin the dickin?” / It’s ridiculous the amount of shit he put up with / Still lives with it concerned with poisoning his future kids / God forbid they end up like their daddy did / A check-to-check high school graduate on edge from the damages / Inflicted by obliviousness / This stories too long / Every night he fell asleep alone and sang the song like / I’m your son / Your all that I need / Excuse me while I flee the scene / I learned it by watching you / The best teacher in the history of mankind / Can’t find your hiding place it’s such a mystery / I’m the one that you live and you breathe for / I’ve learned to not hold my breathe when you walk out that door / I know holding that smile is such a chore / But all I need is just one more /
She hated her face / It told of vicious and old / She hated her eyes a thousand stories untold / Watch it unfold / Mirror Mirror on the wall behind the bar / Whose the best hot mess of ‘em all?
“Why you are” / She thought she heard a stranger speak / “That is” she said “The worst pick-up line I heard this week / Buy me an drink and we’ll start from new” / She stumbled through formalities high on booze with an askewed view / Asked her poison / She said whatever’s cheap / It don’t take a whole lot to keep her glued to this seat / She turned to the stranger suddenly couldn’t speak / The man before her looked familiar / Order another this one’s too weak / She recognized him from a picture she kept in her purse / Stashed away the memories and tried to hide the hurt / For what it’s worth the man standing in front of her’s not here to flirt / He knows she’s never gonna quench that thirst / She never thought he’d be the one to tear open the sutures / God’s greatest gift to creature / Inability to see the future / He’s on the chase she’s forever on the run / Pleads his case of the long lost son / She turned and said / I was a mother / I had some kids / But what I did I know it’s never left them so instead they did / They left me by myself with addictions and the memories / But most of them are faded out from chemically altered substances / Replaced a child’s embrace / Even if I saw them / I couldn’t place their face / I’ll hold this smile while the bartender pours / Cause all I need is just one more…
