Giving all I've got
But it ain't enough
We're scraping the bottom of the barrel
From me, don't expect a thing
Obliviously submerged in peril
This life is like a creaky porch swing
I can be as free as a gazelle, but a caged-in lion
Temper like an inferno 
I know I'm right, so quit your denying
Be my light, but you remain my woe
Time to lay low, time to lay low
But I still need room to grow though
I make my mark all over like lupus
Sometimes my tries are futile
Want to slit that throat of Cupid's
On the brink of self-destruction
Stun me with your trust
You don't need instructions
Take your time if you must
Don't let me walk the plank 
Disallow the looming slaughter 
I beg, I cannot wait
I'll fall for all men's daughters
Never the heartbreaker, always the broken
I drift into the glistening atmosphere
Entirely sincere are the words I've spoken
Don't believe all that you hear
Despite what may appear 


To be continued.
