give
(december 2017)

the devil lured you in with a kiss

he's full of lust and empty promises                     (*** - the concrete broke your fall, to hear you speak of it)

only comes around here to kick you down

and fill your head with worried doubt

i watch you spin around your room

and pace around your empty hallways

while u sing outloud 2 urself

with a saddened look upon your face

could i give you what you want???

i don't think i know

could i give you what you need???

i don't think i know

i've seen u come around here before

looking like ur in outer space

while some drunkard from chinatown

pressures u 2 come 2 his place

i wish i could give u more

give u what ur looking for

sometimes i think i can

when i watch u get hurt by another man
