Let Us Defeat Bad Habits

She’s just a calamity girl that trips on her own feet
Who can always find herself in the troubling part of the woods
She only wanted to accumulate some recollection
But you paid taxes to her love that she has never charged
And when you’re broken, you’re also broke.

She’s traveling a crooked line on a map that’s never existed
Picking up every rock along the way
She’s never acknowledged the weight of the bag
Or the sharp edges that have slit her fingertips

You’re biting on the end of betrayal
Chewing on its sweets
You’re walking down the dotted lines
Of a trail that’s so well known
Treasure that you had placed there
Oh, you pocket it once more

Salt is the water you hand her
Her caustic tongue turns numb
She will not speak, acid is her oxygen
She breathes so very slowly now

And don’t forget you’re broken
No, don’t let it slip your fraudulent mind
You’re struggling to hide under a delusive ocean
And slowly drowning.

False, stale, misleading, fail.
For you haven’t given up these torn down endings.

You’re drunk on emotion
It’s time to sober up
This has gone on far too long
For people are no longer blind of the liquor you have been tasting

Salt is the water you hand her
Her caustic tongue turns numb
She will not speak, acid is her oxygen
She breathes so very slowly now.
