ether

i'm always either headed for a breakdown
or recovering from crisis
tip toeing around everyone else's sensitive lil stigmas
but nobody walks on glass for me
instead they send me barefooted
into dark rooms filled with mouse traps
and i do it too
because letting someone knowingly hurt you
is the best way to prove your loyalty and love

murder and drunken cunt
smothers the notion of quiet pleasant evenings at home
a stolen car and state lines
an empty revolver and a bag of money in the front seat next to me
the prettiest girl i've ever seen
the love of my life in the trunk
sure wish it was the other way around
but we all know it could never be any other way
