Carlota

A few moments together
The presence forgotten
The lies and deceptions
Pouring their shots in

I like to turn on time
Write a rhyme
Being careful of stolen ecstasy
It’s price higher than infidelity

But you pushed me away
And now all I’ve got is second best
I won’t even stay
Despite the ache inside my chest

I’m lost and outdriven
Like a son without a father
I miss all I can’t see
I’m lost without Carlota
