I'm relieved.

It’s been a seemingly slaughter filled
Teeter totter built
To drip unbalanced
To told you so soil
Soiling the perfect innocence we
Come to expect to be free of
Far too soon
And I’ve
Made more than a couple car wrecks
Worth of reasons to
Run and
Rewrite my memories with
This exciting new life we paint the
Other side greener with.

And all along the push and shove
I never smelled the rotting love
I somehow burn up in the static
To you it seems I am an addict

Consider this a crystal vase with
Roses and a dinner and
Me all washed up
Free of greed
A gift or five or
Take what you need

I’m done playing off negative feedback

We look to crash soon
I know we wont
We had to worry
Now we don’t.

  Definitely sing-songy. The whole thing was so well put together that I hardly noticed it rhymed. It was so natural and flowed so well. Lovely.

  Could easily be a really, really cool song. I love that couplet stanza in the middle. It's a vocals solo over a sinister bass line. "a gift or five or take what you need." Write on.

  I think that was the line that struck me- "a gift or five". You're a brick hidden in a bouquet of daisies.

  Don't rewrite, just throw the book away and stick with crayons. the world would be a brighter place that way.
