A quick stare as if it were a loaded gun
Now worse, I’m jaded
I meant to break all ties but I’ve finally reached the bend
You feel the need
This temper’s like a disease
I won’t break, you’ve shown me how it’s really done
Just like you’ve stated
I won’t ever be held down
Proving what you are is simply monotone
I don’t want to be left out again
Rid me of this veil
I don’t want to be left out
I’ll trade for something real
A mere taste, it kills you, now you’re on the run
Till it has faded
Just one look from those eyes and I face a moment’s end
You steal, you feed
My aching to be released
A set fate, looking out for number one
A point well taken
I won’t ever be held down
I won’t mend to your sarcastic undertones
Fought fair, it seems you went from all to none
It’s self-created
Survival is implied, now it really does depend
