The Girl Who Blocked Her Own Shot


If it makes you less sad

I will die by your hand

I hope you find out what you want

I already know what I am

And if it makes you less sad

We'll start talking again

And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am


I'll grow old

And start acting my age

I'll be a brand new day

In a life that you hate

A crown of gold

A heart that's harder than stone

And it hurts a whole lot

But it's missed when it's gone


Call me a safe bet

I'm betting I'm not

I'm glad you that can forgive

Only hoping as time goes

You can forget


If it makes you less sad

I'll move out of the state

You can keep to yourself

I'll keep out of your way


And if it makes you less sad

I'll take your pictures all down

Every picture you paint

I will paint myself out


It's as cold as a tomb

And it's dark in your room

When I sneak to your bed

To pour salt in your wounds


So call it quits

Or get a grip

Say you wanted a solution

You just wanted to be missed


Call me a safe bet

I'm betting I'm not

I'm glad that you can forgive

I'm only hoping as time goes

You can forget


You are calm and reposed

Let your beauty unfold

Pale white like the skin

Stretched over your bones

Spring keeps you ever close

You are second hand smoke

You are so fragile and thin

Standing trial for your sins

Holding onto yourself the best you can

You are the smell before the rain

You are the blood in my veins
