Before I Shoot

All you ever
Ever wanted was a piece of me
We’ll take it in turns to make sure that it’s
Seen
To and fro
To the wall
Until I lose my feet
One foot in front of the other ensuring I'm balancing, rationing
With a love lust built on chores

So wake up
And hold on to
Those frayed up ends
I refuse to call a noose
All you said
Just ain’t true

Catastrophic
Don’t quite cut it darling, if you ask me
Waiver forms, an addiction to porn, then you leave
With a bang
And I’ll still hang right here with just my feet
With outset thoughts and a difficulty to see
Honestly, those pipe led dreams
Got me calling out your name

So wake up
And hold on to
Those frayed up ends
I refuse to call a noose
All you said
Just ain’t true

This Mona Lisa smile you’re giving
Begs the truth that love’s not in it
You’re predictable and far from shy
It’s melodrama all the time

And now I'm up, you got me started
Hoping silence has departed
Take me for another ride
I'm not gullible but I'm still high
Yeah I'm still high, yeah I'm still high

Honestly, those pipe led dreams
Got me calling out your name

So wake up
And hold on to
Those frayed up ends
I refuse to call a noose
All you said
Just ain’t true
Forever biting my tongue before I shoot
Before I shoot
Before I shoot
