smile while i fake it
tell me if that's enough
efficiency is fluid
and i can't fill your cup
my temperament ain't flustered
you flash the slyest grin
it's nerves that i need muster
to win that grin again
but as it always goes
mid-sentence and i froze
exchange the apropos
for shots and caustic jokes
and if it's not enough
i've warmed to you too much
frightening beyond belief
is that i'll fuck it all up
bite fists
i'm making you queazy
articulate sadistically seething
the seconds pass
the moods collapsed
soaking into stains on the hearth rug
swollen eyes
you choked on a big bug
you croak hello inaudibly careless
falls in rooms conveniently airless
chances are my scruples will screw me
circumstance and fortune's been fooling
the seconds passed
the moods collapsed
once it's sundown
this is how it goes
coaxing burrowed tastebuds
with mass amounts of coke
once all's said and done
and i can't blow my nose
mull over turning in
nah, that's just how shit goes
base this on things to come
spill our secrets crumb for crumb
i'll bite my tongue just for fun
break the skin to taste the rum
it's sensitive
this tension sits burning like suns but do you give a shit?
