Metro Girl

Reeling from October, thought we'd talk it out, but

A cat got your tongue, chewed it up, and spit it out

In the plainest of terms, oh, as bad as it sounds

God, I'd kill myself to try and get my name in your mouth

So I'm walking down sunset, during prime time

A boneheaded act, testing out my nine lives

After hopping the metro, surviving the B line

With people packing heat and kitchen knives

No, it's not the smartest choice

A route I should avoid, but

A big enough scene might remind you I'm alive

Am I just insane

For having all these thoughts of-?

Maybe, if I'm real lucky

I could get kidnapped by the mob

Or some gangsters, some thugs

Have the cops on lookout for two or three months

Have my face plastered on every telephone pole

With a sign that says, "missing," and a number for my mum

Would you call her, say we haven't talked in months?

But I was the closest thing you had to 'the one'

Taught you five ways to flirt without reading a haiku

The first girl at all that I ever came out to

I'll stare ahead when I'm cutting a crosswalk

Look neither way, maybe do it with my eyes crossed

Ignore all the signals with red hands and roadblocks

Where they say to stop, I won't stop

I'm here risking my life

It's all on the line

If it could make you think of me

I'd do it more than twice

Normal people do that, right?

I'm questioning reality

Maybe, if I'm blessed enough

I could get hit by a car

Or a bus, or a train

Or some means of transport within that domain

Send me right to the hospital

One not too far

And once I start bleeding out in the ER

Would you visit me, ask the nurse how I'm doing?

Tell the desk, that you're the friend and family included

Cry on my sheets, and grab both of my hands

And then, once I pass away, post me on your Instagram

Tell the whole world, you regret that you ditched me

Use up my death just to garner some sympathy

Roman numerals, in your bio for attention

"I miss her so much," would you write it in the captions?

I'll even let you collect my insurance

Just sign your initials there on my death certificate

Yeah, black's my favorite colour, here's a chance to wear it out

God, I'd kill myself to try and get my name in your mouth
