seize the fucking day

By call to arms

your scent lingers on my clothes
it screams your very being.
your words replay
to drive me insane
and i know exactly what you do
i know exactly what you are.
i hate myself
for missing something
i knew i couldn't hold.

you're forever
and i'll always be never to you.
i should have never kissed you,
now i wish i'd never met you.
god, i smell you all over
and i just want to hold you
and show you,
but i know you know.
how could you not?

it's so perfect, it's fucking flawed.

everything about this
cries regret
and wishful thinking.
knowing damn well what you are.
i know what you are
and still...

screaming infidelities
a blind shot
a worthless cause
i hate you
for what i've become.

allowing myself
maybe a second
or just a moment
because i need one more chance.

and if i'm stuck here again
then i have to.
but i can't.
when i see it,
you...
your eyes and that fucking clever smile.

i don't know where or when
i just...there needs to be an end
there has to...

i need to smile.

i'm taking your goddamn advice.

gonna seize the fucking day.
cause if it is
or ever was real

i gotta kill it.
