Letting Go

* Clear throat *
Aight
Here comes some corny sh*t
Ready?
Uh uh uh uh
Some belching-out-the-best-forms-of-self-therapy sh*t
Here we go

I met you on the corner of 9th and 28th
A random 4am encounter with fate
I was looking to mate, you for a soulmate
Who'd have thought that Shakespeare would be our 1st date?
I was still on the dark side of the road then
A dirty, nasty, filthy immigrant
But I gleamed in you a glimmer of a hint
A version|virgin of what they wrote in Thessalonians
Over the years we kept flippin' tenses
Kept running into personal differences
Archnemeses rattlling grievances
Then drowned right back into our intimacies
A love affair tragedy inevitable
Cuz you came from where the peaches grow
You know, Lucifer - many years later -
Still whispers what we did that summer

And did you ever think I'd sing about you eventually?
And the beef we been bearing|burying unnecessarily?
'Forget about the past', they blah-blahed to me
But how can I forget what makes me me?
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it!

You picked me up rummaging among the embers
Taped me some wings, then nudged me onwards
Taught me the art of financial plunders
And any blunders were met with thunders
'Vic, I just want to make money'
The excuse you used to reprimand me
'Why's the P&L all negating
And why can't you get in every morning?
I can understand 5 o'clock is excusable
But 6:15 is reasonable!'
By coursing thru each day's crucible
You forced me to forge shield invincible
In the rear view, I can see finally
I trusted you a little TOO blindly
Because of you it won't ever be 'bout money
And because of you I'll try to be a better daddy

And did you ever think I'd sing about you eventually?
And the beef I feel I still owe to squashy?
'Forget about the past', they blah-blahed to me
But how can I forget what makes me me?
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it!

What can I say, you were a beauty
Standing all fancy in the lobby
Salivating Slavic delicacies
And replays of 'Трои Из Простоквашино's
You seemed like a pearl in the ocean
Turned out you little more than biozircon
Who when drunken likes to go twirkin'
Didn't take long to get to the cu-cuckoldin'
I nursed my heart better part a decade
Quit the bubbly and the blunt chivalry
This much I know now: I could never
Make someone else forgive a cheater
Because of you I'm back on the LIGHT side again
Как дядя фёдор, я гатован
Моё уважение - ксения - теряю
Ну - всё равно - тебе прощаю!

And did you ever think I'd sing about you eventually?
And the beef we never got the chance to squashy?
'Forget about the past', they blah-blahed to me
But how can I forget what makes me me?
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it!

We crossed paths when we were younger
Both comin' off a couple of self-defeatist chapters
Together we would build the future
Shoulder-to-shoulder was your offer
Like all partners we had our differences
But everyday was full of new experiences
In presentations dazzling senses
Finishing each other's next sentence-ses
I should have known from the get-go that we were fated
To battle for the soul of our baby corporate
To firmly establish me in you orbit
And to try to push you out - I'll own up to it
I couldn't get through what I needed from you
Nor could you get through what you needed to
Caught we were then in a special kind of hell
A mutually disjointed compassion barbell

But now I think it's time to move on from this
Bury all the hatchets of our differences
'Forget about the past', they blah-blahed to me
'None of this really matters anyway'
Well, because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it
Because of you I am who I am today
I could never let go of any of it!

So time to squash this beef that's been simmerin'
Between fellow in-spacetime brethren
We could never start over if we don't let go
We could never let go what our egos still hold
Because of Y'ALL I am who I am today
All shufflin' along the boundaries of Verbality
Somehow peachy, lounging on a beachy
BELCHING OUT THE BEST FORMS OF SELF-THERAPY!

Ha
Told you it was some corny sh*t
It was all real though
My word
Hahaha
