G

They said "I hope that you will never change"

I went and cut my hair

They say "Don't take your business to the big time"

I bought us tickets there

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it art like I was hoping now?

What did you expect

And what did you forget

That to live you let go of me with each step

It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest

To aggression

Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?

Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb

It can be to

Attack those around 'cause you're

True to color, a town, a time, or a place?

It's not you, it's not mine

And besides it is gone

And you never will find it again

But I don't want to fight

I just ask let me be

I won't give the chance to be my enemy

So go home

Think it through

A jet plane and a big idea

I jump over the sea

What ifs hot on my trail

But that can't catch me, no

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it art like I was hoping now?
