The Domino Effect

Lets knock down these dominoes stacked against me like armed foes
my carnal instinct, saturated in sorrow
sure I've borrowed hearts more than a couple times
for all the lonely nights started in this troubled mind

I usually try to think away from the box
but its locked from the outside now I'm trapped in my thoughts
I'm caught, guilty until proven otherwise
I keep trying to tell them not me, it's these other guys

We're butterflies trapped in the belly of the beast
but at least we're alive, its better than being deceased
I mean look, things could always be worse
you could be the only living being in the universe

or worse yet, your love life could be cursed
sure it sounds absurd, but this shit really works
it really hurts when your trapped in your mind
and your only friend is this pen and these rhymes

sometimes it feels like my times up
I'm fine but it would be better if i could find my love
I got my heart on my sleeve so when we part you can see
I've given you the best part of me

Its hardly a fair trade so make art with me
I'm starting to see this world charts differently
I walk with indifference hindered by pain
I'd show some interest, but you're all the same

different names and numbers its like dumb and dumber
I'm looking for a lover to share a little endless slumber
I have no luck at least not the good stuff
cuz if it looks rough, trust me just don't touch

hands off, keep your limbs to yourself
before you end up stuffed sitting on your shelf
I'm known as the one and only because I'm the only one
looking for that special someone to share in some unholy fun

curled up in a ball like a lonely rolly polly
spoiled rotten in soiled water boiling over slowly
console me, hold me, control b and bold me
and if you find my heart, its best not to show me

I'm enrolled in class that's below me belonging nowhere
feeling it get warmer because all you do is blow air
travels down the road with no care
in hopes there is a hole in your same old snare
