been

been a while

been out sharpening my nails

on the backs of boys dressed like

crocodiles leather and lace all ****** mace

lines out here deliver like the best punch line

i dont do it for the show no more cuz

no ones watching and no one knows

been a while

since i carved a smile into

your face but tears roll

easy now dontcha know

been out sharpening my nails to

use em on you

but the rain wont stop

an my flights delayed

get out the house get away

cuz i been out fightin and its a while since

i been away.
