In A Lose, Lose Situation - Emery

Don’t be late

There’s no time to be afraid

There’s a way

To clean up the mess you’ve made

If I could tell the truth

Or lie would I

Attempt the two at the same time

Expect you to apologize for trying

To make me so uptight

Don’t say it’s just a game

We play

I can’t lose the taste

If you regulate how the blood is pumping

Through the veins

From my heart into my head

(In time this blood supply

Will change me from red to white)

Every thought that you know I’m thinking

May as well be the knife stuck in my back

This taxing fever makes me gravitate

To this place

(This is still my life

Not yours to defy)

Anyone in their right mind would never let you inside

Anyone in their right mind

I’ve broken ties with the neighborhood

I’m feeling like a bum in the city

Waiting only to take a drink

From an empty glass

Of nothing good

Sinking like a stone in the sea

Without the oxygen I need

Deciding as I wait for it to entertain

Careful not to breathe in, to breathe in, to breathe in

The right time and the right way to elevate

Careful not to breathe in, to breathe in, to breathe in

To breathe in the air

That so proudly puts to death

My own fathers name

I remember when your hands started shaking

There’s a better way

To clean out the mess you’ve been making
