Foes
The foe is you
My worst enemy is me
I love you though
Can’t you see me, you see?
I walked a thousand miles
Just to see you smile one more time
Desires on every lie you say
I’d rather hear the truth today
Courage and creativity mix
My heart needs a little fix
I’m weeping and leaping forward
Toward you, my foe and friend...this is awkward
Woke up to your illusion of adoration
Broke up with tension and frustration
High off of ecstasy and your love ain’t dope
Just hand me some hope or I’ll hang like this rope
Juggling with jostling joyousness against my body
Nobody has told me that I was in triggering captivity
Scars replay in my cranium...I don’t know, so I drink rage’s rum
Raping me with numbness, making me slightly and slowly dumb
What have I become?
Someone else?
Somebody told me I was handsome
I am caught under Satan’s spells
I’m sorry, God
I’m all by myself and I vertically nod
I vertically nod...
Your horizon is horizontally hopeful
But, what have I become?
A boy that can only feel numb?
I walked a thousand miles
Just to see you smile one more time
Desires on every lie you say
I’d rather hear the truth today
Courage and creativity mix
My heart needs a little fix
I’m weeping and leaping forward
Toward you, my foe and friend...this is awkward
Woke up to your illusion of adoration
Broke up with tension and frustration
High off of ecstasy and your love ain’t dope
Just hand me some hope or I’ll hang like this rope
Juggling with jostling joyousness against my body
Nobody has told me that I was in triggering captivity
Scars replay in my cranium...I don’t know, so I drink rage’s rum
Raping me with numbness, making me slightly and slowly dumb
The foe is you, you see?
My worst enemy is me
Love-hate your torturous, lovable ways
Living life in a summer heat these days
