A Slow Form Of Suicide
How can you be so smart and yet so dumb?
Egotistical, and yet you get away with all you've done,
And all you do,
Only because it's you.
And you know that much is true
And you know how important you really are
How talented, a could-be star
But you've had some tough spots
Head smacked against some rough rocks
And you don't tell anybody.
You just make it clear that you deserve a little bit of pity
Whether it's what you want or not
Always trying to give it your best shot
And you only do the things you do
Because you know in the end it will kill you
And then what?
Your body just rots in a casket?
Because believing in more than that isn't the way your mind works
You lips told me that as they slid into a slight smirk
Such a bad ass
Ready to outclass
Anyone at all
Can't you see, this is your down fall?
But you know, I "Don't Know YOU"
I've always had an unclear perspective, unclear view
And yet you think you know ME
Inside out, but that's only the leftover scraps I let you see
You just don't want to be proved wrong
Or turned down, you're so headstrong
So much talent you're willing to waste
As much as you seem to belong, I'm sure you're misplaced
Goodbye sun,
Hello moon,
Goodbye fun,
Goodbye youth
If I could only stop you.
