Watch Yourself
Watch where you are swimming:
Your metal heart is starting to rust.
You are too used to winning,
Darling be careful of who you trust.
You hold a knife up to your neck,
And expect it not to hurt.
I know our world’s a wreck,
But honey yours is far worse.
Put down your cigarette,
And take a breath of plain air.
This isn’t a threat,
But if something happened, who would care?
Words won’t save you.
Not in this world of beautiful chaos.
It’s time to break though.
Sometimes losing isn’t a loss.
Pull the trigger.
You like the power, don’t you?
Feeling bigger?
Be careful: don’t fall through.
Privacy doesn’t exist,
Not in a world full of watchers.
We have a list
Of the questions to all your answers.
So sing me a lullaby ,
And put me to sleep.
Say your last goodbye,
And choose who to keep.
