fast forward March.
you could lick the regrets off my lips
he said 'cherry has my heart'
told him I hope you won't mind
but I'll have to steal that line

blushed cheeks, slick streets
and oh so sweet features
two year old cuddles and tantrums
playing games with hushed secrets

I get so up, just to fall back down
I'm sinking, sinking
down into the ground
I've had enough of this cigarette
trying to sustain my own breath
this life is like the cavity
residing in my teeth
thunder shakes in my legs
and it takes all of me to just stay

the blood dripped down a single leg
a continuous reminder
of the choice I made
but that wasn't my mistake
I will never call it my mistake
secrets come with an expense
how could the situation get so dense?
doing every single one a favor
like I want nothing left to savor

I do what I want
but I'm really doing what I can
I'm doing all I can
I said I've had enough of your rants, man
so I broke the wine bottle
with the slice of a knife
they said you can't end this life
I drank the whole thing
climbed out the window
just to feel the wind sting
I danced on the roof
and I peered over the edge
but God insisted that I'm not dead yet
I am not dead
