Short Story

Why can’t you just calm down
Understand that this world
It doesn’t revolve around you
Calm down
You’re just an incendiary temporary
Hate retaining
Pain despairing
Asshole
And you’re the only one who
Doesn’t know
(Well lemme tell ya)
I need you to remind me
Of what I see when you’re blinding
You take it all and throw it away
And tell yourself do you really want to stay
I’m here for now
And I’m sorry I’m so convincing
I’ve told you how
But you’re never listening

Run for cover
The ceiling’s falling out by the screw
Your mind’s confused about what it should do
And you couldn’t turn the tables this time
Your steam is running on empty
But your brain’s stuck on no forgiving
Thanks for asking but don’t even bother
Cuz it’s a short story that
I’d make longer

I’m gonna lose my mind
Cuz it seems like every time
I turn my back
You attack
Then you hide the knife
What’s with this life?
You’re gonna break down and give up
You need my help
Well frankly I don’t give a
Fuck
