The Reprieve
My second verse gets brighter than this first
But please give me a chance to show me at my worst
When it ends I hope you'll seize on the reprieve
And just be grateful for once that my heart is up my sleeve
Forget my blessings, I am counting calories
But all I seem to vomit out are these routine pleasantries
To keep my friends the safer side of enemies
I don't know why I even care, but I guess I was born to please
Don't let me see you making eyes again
I'm dressed as death and I am taking to the floor
Spreading curses and condemning every reveller I've scorned
Till there was bodies and there was music and there was me
I'll be the beautiful centre of a perfect Halloween...
Now they just lie there
Don't let me see you making eyes again
I am so eloquently voicing my dismay
And when it ends will be the worst part of your day
But please give me a chance to show me at my worst
When it ends I hope you'll seize on the reprieve
And just be grateful for once that my heart is up my sleeve
Forget my blessings, I am counting calories
But all I seem to vomit out are these routine pleasantries
To keep my friends the safer side of enemies
I don't know why I even care, but I guess I was born to please
Don't let me see you making eyes again
I'm dressed as death and I am taking to the floor
Spreading curses and condemning every reveller I've scorned
Till there was bodies and there was music and there was me
I'll be the beautiful centre of a perfect Halloween...
Now they just lie there
Don't let me see you making eyes again
I am so eloquently voicing my dismay
And when it ends will be the worst part of your day
