Remember when it was easy
To try not to get caught
Never thinking of the consequences
Trading cigarettes for a 75 cents at school
Testing the hussle, that frown you hear about
Ditch class and smoke ****
Forget about the rules
Go lay under the stars

Saw your picture for the first time
Bangs, as short as your shirt and skirt
Lips, darker than space
You're the most ******
The most beautiful
Grotesque
You **** on beds of skulls
Make me run home screaming
Cat scratch fever
Gifts show my gratitude for the attention
Back to you
Skin, like clouds
The darkest layers to bring it out
In my head, beating the drums in the shower
Water running down face
When we aren't together
Making the water hotter than usual

So now you kicked me down
Threw me into the pile of old shoes
Old shoes being tossed around in bins
Tearing the flesh from my bones
Watching the vultures fly from sight

Now you're walking safe
Safe and sound from true love
Cradled in the arms of a different man
Love is lost after all
She calls him Sergeant in bed too, I bet on it

Here she goes, inviting me over to drink with MY FRIENDS
This odor of ***** and *** when I enter
Bad, Bad, Bad idea, Bad idea
You're walking safe
To a different car, to go to a show
Some band you just overrated

While you were gone, My bones
Pressed against metal and cheap plastic
I unleashed my anger with a single strike
A tequila bottle dangling in my left hand
You're Walking safely to your future
While I endanger myself, put forth unto nature
She is my muse, adding to the fire
Don't worry, I'm walking safe
