Autumn blows with hints of winter, Mood descends to match the weather Sorry I couldn't help you,  and I Still ain't got my **** together Spark a stick of nicotine, And sink into my self-reflecting Got a whole lot more to say, And I know it's not what your expecting Humor wanes,  like crescent moon, My memory tumbles back to June, I think of all those promises That never would be kept Take 3 deep breaths to clear my mind Of all the loss I've left behind, And now I think about it, Somehow strangely I have never wept (Yet still I brood on all those melancholy nights I never slept) Seems like every time I find The will to let down my defenses, Honestly flies out my mouth Despite my gilded best intentions Much too late for me to take Emotions back, and lock them down I'll flash a wicked rictus grin Like Pennywise the evil clown Excavate my rusty hatchet, Time to chop down olive branches Tough to slay a dragon for you Armed with only broken lances Suffer awful habits as I Lounge on decomposing laurels Find myself in crosshairs of Outrageous Fortune's emptied quarrels Flick another cancer stick, Continue with my self-reflection Yeah, I've still got more to say, And you might tell from my inflection Hits a little close to home, Whose walls are white and stark and bare I'll whisper to a flirty femme Who winks at me and twirls her hair So now I sit and shift my hips To grind on the lust of another woman How many months must pass before I see I was worked up all for nothin' Lift my eyes from off her thighs And look into her smiling face I think I might maintain if I can Keep the pain in another place

Not What You're Expecting
Autumn blows with hints of winter, Mood descends to match the weather Sorry I couldn't help you,  and I Still ain't got my **** together Spark a stick of nicotine, And sink into my self-reflecting Got a whole lot more to say, And I know it's not what your expecting Humor wanes,  like crescent moon, My memory tumbles back to June, I think of all those promises That never would be kept Take 3 deep breaths to clear my mind Of all the loss I've left behind, And now I think about it, Somehow strangely I have never wept (Yet still I brood on all those melancholy nights I never slept) Seems like every time I find The will to let down my defenses, Honestly flies out my mouth Despite my gilded best intentions Much too late for me to take Emotions back, and lock them down I'll flash a wicked rictus grin Like Pennywise the evil clown Excavate my rusty hatchet, Time to chop down olive branches Tough to slay a dragon for you Armed with only broken lances Suffer awful habits as I Lounge on decomposing laurels Find myself in crosshairs of Outrageous Fortune's emptied quarrels Flick another cancer stick, Continue with my self-reflection Yeah, I've still got more to say, And you might tell from my inflection Hits a little close to home, Whose walls are white and stark and bare I'll whisper to a flirty femme Who winks at me and twirls her hair So now I sit and shift my hips To grind on the lust of another woman How many months must pass before I see I was worked up all for nothin' Lift my eyes from off her thighs And look into her smiling face I think I might maintain if I can Keep the pain in another place
