To Be

 shopping spree malls for highway graves … next exit alcohol always saves … only to be loved any more … for all this time you’ve been keeping score

told friends you’ve already tried one way … telling lovers I’m just in the way … blaming my past for what your future holds … every one you touch turns into dust gold

looking for pain its release … bridges burned to the deceased … forever pledge every solemn vow … hands bloody from slicing sacred cows

oh to be loved any less … passed your quizzes failed your final test … is there anyone you haven’t left a mess

making dates only you’ll keep … if your waters get too deep … a pair of shoulders comes along … drown them when you soon get strong

oh to be loved til you’re done … now you’re free to spoil the sun … a pleasant raisin wrinkled in fun
