Like a rock I crumble under the erosion of obstacles insane
Like the sun I burst into my own foreshadow’s flames
Like the wind I feel every tentacle of love’s sting in vain
Like the trees I stand absolute through my epiphanies and pain

The only time I've really felt alive
Is with smoke in my lungs, going 99
Trying my best to get this heart to revive
Doing the minimum it takes to survive
Wind in my hair, pedal under my feet
Music so high, I'll float out of my seat
Playing all the sad songs again on repeat
Learning how to accept my hearts worst defeat

Fresh heartache - nothing makes u feel so alive
Yet so close to death at the very same time

I've done a lot of regrettable things in my short stint on earth but boy you take the cake

More certain than death and taxes
You spun me right off of my axis
Congratulations, that's the fastest
My heart has ever been reduced to ashes

Note to self: Sometimes a paper cut can penetrate the deepest of all

I was the moth to your hypnotic flame
You're the hypocrite that casts me shame
I'm the girl with good intentions
You're the ***** with cruel rejections
I'm the moral of every story
You're only in it for kicks and glory
You're the ashes and I rise like smoke  
You're just the **** of a really bad joke
