Poem
You're a fool for starting the friction But I'm a fool for starting the motion F you, no I’m a fool for believing the notion And giving my eyes to the intention The northern lights fell on me And open ice sheets make me weary I can see every breath but I don’t feel alive I can see every breath but I don’t feel so alive I need a radio to play this line to me every day: Never burn yourself To keep others warm Never burn yourself To keep others warm The truth is I wouldn’t wish it on anyone I wouldn’t wish this on anyone When someone pulls a gun on you, You pull a bigger one And when someone tells you to give them a show, You drop the match on the gasoline and have some fun You’re never gonna guess what he said to me You’re never gonna guess because in a murder case, This would be the clue they all disregard But turns out to be the missing piece But everything is evidence when you’re over-analyzing Take off your detective hat and enjoy my presence while it lasts Broken bones and a heart-shaped cast I wouldn’t wish this on anyone Military grade, tested against god’s fists But it wasn’t made to last And I already know the grass is greener on the other side Every blade is a shard of glass that cuts me everytime I try to forget Well I don’t forget! And i’ll remember that I wouldn’t wish this on anyone But will I remember to never burn myself To keep others warm? Im tempted to test it but I know I’ll just forget it When someone pulls a gun on you, You pull a bigger one And when someone says to blow them away, You throw the match on the dynamite and have some fun Oh, and there’s that shooting star I wished for a year and a half before That asteroid hurtling towards earth Couldn't hit us any sooner And who's the son of a that said the grass is always greener? I know I should bring this all to my therapist But I’m just gonna forget it
