When the bad days outweigh the good Will you still tell me I’m brilliant? When the bad days outweigh the good Will your love stay resilient? When the bad days outweigh the good Will that comfort turn militant? When the bad days outweigh the good Will you still see me as innocent? By Lyric Deep.

If I was a food I’d be a passion fruit Because I feel everything Personally But I’d get eaten With cutlery For optimum Burst of seed I’d be pink in my blush But black pocked Underneath Still the beauty Of me At the market Will make you see The shine of skin Over the other [...]

This is just like drugs You make me feel so good So loved But that sobering moment  Always comes And I’m struck by hard thumbs Turned to crumbs Strumming on blisters And numb tongues Wishing I wasn’t so Brutal on the up Cos now I slump In the dump Of heartstrings in the sun I [...]

Like walking ducks and the carriage key tucks As trucks dance beside me I fuck with you highly Slyly I might be in luck As you chuck me a sloppy chance With a sloppy glance And I’m wearing the padlock like pearls She tells me to stop being awkward But I’m just one of those [...]

I’m all coffee no belly-full So my jitters are plentiful  These brain farts are seminal And I’ll admit I’m a sheep Deep in the retreat Of buzz’s heap Every cell beeped  So further into me I sent them all  I creep around with so many thoughts I go quiet I’m concrete under the marching feet [...]

I’ve got to admit it, finally, that The sneaking round’s got limitations I’ve never been one to lie too tough But I can’t deny your invitations They only see the aftermath, not the birth And it’s like with you I ain’t got reservations And I can just do all these things That usually cause hesitation [...]

If I do it every time Then every time I do it I never want to go from know To knew it I never want to stress you Wreck you Compress you I just want to protect you I know I’m the fragile bones But that brittle stone Went roughish  I’m home-ish Not the loveliness [...]

Why the fuck did we have to leave the cocoon Escape room and zoom off to a gloom without boon Money in the pocket, come soon But I’ve been walking through with no shoes And I’m bruised, this you knew We can’t do what we do With no one to prove We done what we [...]
