take it or leave it

I know a girl named Asphyxia

She chokes me down to the core of my heart and my soul

I got a button that she loves to push

That shit is red as coka-cola that’s been cut with blood

We go back and forth, pushing and pulling

Ours fists are black and blue, fucking and fighting

I know a girl named Asphyxia

Her kiss is hot like fire water in the August sun

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our lips are meant to kiss

Not bite the heads off of land sharks dressed to impress

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our hands are meant to hold

Not push rollers full of paint over holes and mold

I know a girl named Amnesia

She tells me that she loves me and then she forgets me

She hangs my paintings on her bedroom wall

And then tells me that she’s never met me

We go to sleep in love, kissing and holding

Wake up in hell, restraining, complaining

I know a girl named Amnesia

I hope one day she forgets to remember me

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our lips are meant to kiss

Not bite the heads off of land sharks dressed to impress

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our hands are meant to hold

Not push rollers full of paint over holes and mold

I know a girl named Me

And she only cares about her god damn self

She tells me she wants a relationship

But won’t make room for my socks in her top shelf

She asks, can you come over, I say anytime

She says, be gone by nine, and lock the door this time

I know a girl named Me

And she wouldn’t have that shit any other way

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our lips are meant to kiss

Not bite the heads off of land sharks dressed to impress

She tells me take it or leave it

I tell her make it or break it

We can’t go on like this; our hands are meant to hold

Not push rollers full of paint over holes and mold

I’ve met allot of girls in my time

Some of them still tip toe through my mind

Walking the tight rope line with blind

Are these memories or fantasies inside?

So have I moved on, or am I begging to be found

Are you still gone, or just singing swan songs

Am I hiding in the bushes with the thorns to conceal me?

Or hiding in the ice with only sun shine to shield me

This shit can go on and it probably will

Ain’t got the money or the time but I know the deal

And until a full uproot comes my way

I know the road won’t change and the sky will stay grey

So come and find me and heal me

So I can stop leasing my heart to these girls that confuse me

I know the names but I can’t match the faces

I know the pain but I forget the places

It’s all the same, you all had your day, you all left your mark

But when the scars are raised they’re all the same shade

So if you feel the same stay away

And I promise on this longing heart I will do the same
