violin strings & garrot wires (or instruments of a bitter end)

By theBAC

you are the corruption
the deception and the lies
surprise surprise
the ties that bind are breaking
you can see it in my dying eyes

so despite the home you gave me
and that little bit of love
i’m leaving you behind me
i know when enoughs enough

with your tough man atttude
and father figure facade
i have to pretend i like you
and my perfomance deserves applause
you sit me down and give me rules
to try and teach me how to live
but i’ll give you a little
surprise surprise my friend
you have no fucking clue
living in a tiny house with your dogs
and your cans of brew
killing yourself and blaming the world
with nothing else to do
