Five
I think I get what that Kanye song means
If I put my hand on a stove, will I bleed?
If I cut again, can I even go deep?
Picking away at the body beneath
Grounding by naming five things I can see
Five things I can hear, five things I can touch
Can tasting the back of my tongue be enough?
Yeah, with my luck, you'll tell me
I'm so beautiful, so beautiful
You've got front row seats to the dream
To scream my name back at me, pretend
I'm in control, I'm in control
All eyes on me, on me, on me, on
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Sometimes I think I'm on top of the world
But I'm missing their words when they're talking to me
Fucked up the details, everything they told me
I thought their birthday was the 17th
And I don't know why I just act like I have so much energy
When I don't even get sleep
My words just compress out my mouth now, it's hurting to breath
It's hard to accept you're relying on me
I'm burning this bridge, it's not holding up
My patience ran thin, yeah I called your bluff
I bottled my feelings the day you left
Yeah I tried to be cool, I'm not cold enough
It would be funny if I ran into you on a corner, street, or party
If I'm just telling you the truth
My heart already broke before it started
I'm so beautiful, so beautiful
You've got front row seats to the dream
To scream my name back at me, pretend
I'm in control, I'm in control
All eyes on me, on me, on me, on
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
Five more steps, five fingers around my neck
Five down and one 'til I'm dead
Five counts and I'm catching my breath, yeah
If I put my hand on a stove, will I bleed?
