Spoken Word: Public Enemies




It didn't start out like this...
as you know we were friends,
chilling at each other's cribs,
but now you talking as if
I got some disease,
acting as if i was the thief.

I told you that what we had was weird,
but special... no not like that, but you know...
insisting on making me think otherwise,
brainwashed... thinking you were worth the price

I don't regret knowing you... 
I learnt lessons I couln't even afford
so let me thank you for your efforts,
now their just running in my head like adverts,
reminding me not to bow down to my comforts. 

Sucked into a vicious cycle
mostly because we both became fickle,
bouncing on and off the court
knocking the door of the last resort
tired of keep having to retort
just to protect my god damn fort.

I may secretly be inclined to fix things,
but am openly wishing I had silver wings
so i could leave you and this drama behind,
cause now i have more important things to mind.
That was then, and this is now,
i'm slowly making sense of it all 
tiringly investigating this fall.
Even if I don't ever put the pieces together,
the signs have always shown that
we were always destructive for each other.

Public enemies was written as our fate
I'll nod to you from the across the street,
hoping to wipe shit off our slate
tired of the pain, i'll be the one to retreat.
