What Can't Be, Won't Be

Shoulda seen it coming, succumbing to the old go-to
Tactless displays of feigned indifference
They're sure to misfire but at least the lesson won't be learned again
I suppose we always knew it was doomed by its start
The butcher of certainty's blade hasn't and never will miss its mark
No one wants what's best when
The underlying "I moved on" we leave unsaid
So it's time to take while the taking 's there
Shamelessly
Two drinks too deep and I struggle to not hit send
It looks like sabotage but I assure you it's just my best
Each half-hearted attempt onwards
Ends a bit more reluctant instead
Nevermind, take care
The weak must fend for itself
While still inclined there's a need to accept
That what can't be, won't be
So farewell
Seem to recall, I recall a nervous excitement for
A fog to descend and swallow us whole
Now in the midst of the seemingly thickest mist
I wonder, why wander?
No one wants love put through the mill
Where we blame the blameless for the distance that we feel
So take your time, I'm not going anywhere
Shamefully
Two drinks too deep and I struggle to not hit send
It looks like sabotage but I assure you it's just my best
Each half-hearted attempt onwards
Ends a bit more reluctant instead
Nevermind, take care
The weak must fend for itself
While still inclined there's a need to accept
That what can't be, won't be
So farewell

Long for the days
Sunny afternoons passing cheap champagne in public parks
The days of our glory
A bunch of washed up drunk mid-twenty somethings
Remember when "responsibility" was a word dressed up in quotes
Felt like a dream we shared
Inconsequential
And now I'm terrified by this
Alone I've now counted all the coulda-beens surely missed
I pray to time to take me back
You know it can't
Nostalgia please, I'm begging begging knock it off with the tease
I'm sick of the late night texts and the early morning what-have-I-done's
Remember when, remember when we could still fall into the traps of someday
Guess that candle 's snuffed now
"All things come to those that wait, give it a chance"
I've tried but I can't shake the feeling all those useless things
Pointless youthful dreams were the peak
Please take me back

Patterns

It's been over from come over
Found ourselves in new beds
Greeted by the face of an eager new lover
Break me, probably can for you see
It's been a bit too long since I
I've been forced to recover
Don't miss it
Normally the kind content to not say a thing
Till I know every possible way that this backfires when it backfires
Gladly eat my words
I'm just tired of falling to "falling in love" just to yearn for a new one instead
Watch those patterns
It's happening again
It's been far too long and we're far too clever to think we'll end a regret
Let's not wait anymore
Unafraid of its call
Throw ourselves down to its feet and hope we're not wrong
Yeah I know I ain't your first one
It's ok, blown through a few myself
Guess it's just the times
Supposed to be reluctant
The cliché 's getting old
I'd kinda like to stand on my own but beside you
The better half of a year turns unquestionably unserious
Into confusion, into untenable, into your arms
So if you'll keep me, please forgive past mixed messages and wavering thoughts
They're done
Watch those patterns
It's happening again
It's been far too long and we're far too clever to think we'll end a regret
Let's not wait anymore
Unafraid of its call
Throw ourselves down to its feet and hope we're not wrong
Hope we're not wrong

Witching Hour

Dirty winds on my ear
Your glance says I've no choice but a night of tossed sheets, clenched teeth, subdued noise
Given into it
Maybe wrong, certainly unwise
Still mistakes were designed to regret at a later time
A diamond, hip-shaking, lip-bit, hypnotizing, naughty grin
Entranced by the light drawing closer
As I swim in the shallow lakes of pain and ecstasy within
It's easy to look this dead when you're so alive
Won't you take my hand please darling
The witching hour 's not meant for being lonely
From kiss to kiss or tongue to thigh
Feel walls close in as breath is stolen
No need to make it clear
Our passing tryst won't last on through the morning
Self-assuredness, itself an elaborate guise
But we wear our masks till legs wrapped locking eyes
My thirst for love you satisfy in spades
Again and again I'll drink its bitter taste
You reign with lace and leather, charming banter, cracking whip
A beautiful embrace just before the hit
The way I see you dancing, I'm keen to take you home
Seduced I'm yours my only thoughts are getting you alone
Won't you take my hand please darling
The witching hour 's not meant for being lonely
From kiss to kiss or tongue to thigh
Feel walls close in as breath is stolen
No need to make it clear
Our passing tryst won't last on through the morning
Won't you take my hand please darling
The witching hour 's not meant for being lonely
From kiss to kiss or tongue to thigh
Feel walls close in as breath is stolen
No need to make it clear
Our passing tryst won't last on through the morning

Wolves proudly wolves, fangs drawn with a grin
Yet we're asked for a chance
With hearts so cold, we all see our breath
As they lick lips pre-devour
The thinnest wool pulled over so sheer that blindness is the closing of eyes
It'll be the hood we don should we let the executioner strike
Speak while we still can speak
Here we stand at the precipice
Where we said "never again"
Promise the world, tear its tapestry
Lucky (if we're) left to its scraps
They demand respect for the ruthless, compassion be damned
So bear no mind to the hand of sleight
For the one at its hip slowly drawing its knife
Will drive deep the moment we avert our sight
Here we stand at the precipice
Hadn't we said "never again"
