Stunner

I know it sounds weird

I do want you to look back on this and smile

But I kinda want that smile to be through tears

I ain't shouting at ya, I'm shouting to ya

Hello darkness my old friend let's turn you into filthy lucre

And suture wounds and tumours with dark humour mixed with hubris

And neuter future suitors with a blast of nasty rumours

Seems the light at the end of the tunnel was a fire

Now I'm choking on the smoke in my lungs, I'm so tired

But I can't go to sleep with a mind that's so wired

You call that shit depression, I call it inspired

Talk is cheap when you speak the weak prose you're throwing

You're just a sheep in a wolf in sheep's clothing's clothing

And the holes ain't closing, just exposing goatskin

This corrosion shows you can't control the motion

Shit, the romance is dead? Blame the hopeless romantics

Resigned to hopelessness their romantic plans were sycophantic

So I won't put the nice things we do on YouTube

Don't need the world the world to love me, I just need you to

The world don't revolve around you but it should

Ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good

Ain't saying I love you but I probably could…

Have

The world don't revolve around you but it should

Ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good

Ain't saying I love you but I probably could…

Have

I thought it was love but I was wrong

Tortured a dove just to prove Prince wrong, I love that song

I guess you broke my heart but it kinda needed breaking

And the grating exacerbating hatings already dissipating

Love, it's a weird thing ain't it? You're fucking right it is

Enlightened by the disquiet sight I kinda like this shit

We fall in love with that which we project on each other

Then settle for reality or just reject one another

So I respect the motherfucker that reflects upon their lover

And elects to walk away or resurrects and recovers

Way more than I respect those that just close up the shutters

And ignore the shitty shell within which both of them suffers

I wore my heart on my sleeve and you stole my fucking shirt

But go ahead and wear that shit, the happiness of the absurd

These words divert the hurt and send me soundly to sleep

But every word I wrote I meant, so fucking read them and weep

The world don't revolve around you but it should

Ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good

Ain't saying I love you but I probably could…

Have

The world don't revolve around you but it should

Ain't saying you're perfect, but you're really really good

Ain't saying I love you but I probably could…
