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.
