You think you’re in a good place
I’m gonna put you in THE good place
You think you saw an angel
Don’t get your hopes up, you devil
No, you are headed to the lowest level

I will follow you into the black of night
Or until you admit that I’m right
Have a near death experience
And come right back for more
 
You think you know what’s best for you
But it’d be best to let Grim make his debut
Just bones, he can’t sign the papers
I’m stuck with you til the phone calls taper off

You’re lookin’ to jailbreak out of this hell
Keep lookin’ but there’s no key for your cell
Think you’re gonna jailbreak out of my heart
You’re stuck here, that’s the best part
 
Follow you to a dead end
Keep up, your mind’s wandering
I will press you up against the wall
Feeling up, it’s just protocol

So you better keep your mouth shut
Unless my lips are on it
I want your hands where I can’t see them
I’ll let lips arrest, they’re the best at talking

You are looking to jailbreak out of this hell
Keep on looking but there’s no key for your cell
Think you’re going to jailbreak out of my heart
You’re stuck here, that’s the best part

What’s the crime, just a shattered ego
So you think I don’t have the credentials
Take it to the man in the castle
Better yet the woman in front of you

Turn around, and turns out there were several
Everyone’s breaking and entering--
my heart-- doesn’t have an exit
There’s no key for their cell

You’re lookin’ to jailbreak out of this hell
Keep lookin’ but there’s no key for your cell
Think you’re gonna jailbreak out of my heart
You’re stuck here, that’s the best part

Put you in, you think I could get you out
But once you said it once, all I can think about
I know you want to break up
But can you break out of jail

My heart
In hell
My heart

Jailbreak

This is a song I wrote few years back, and I figured I would fix it up and release it just for fun on Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

Beautiful Enemy

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

you've cursed the names of certain streets
I curse the place we used to meet
I'll say fuck my sentimentality
and fuck my car for the places it takes me

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

I've tried to take back our soundtrack as my own
this album's mine, I've claimed it as my home
so fuck my sentimentality
and fuck obsessing over all the stupid memories

(why are you so close to me)x2

Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me
Why are you so close to me?
why are you so close to me
your smoke rings fucking choking me 
so why ya gotta live so close to me

Why Are You So Close To Me

Collaboration with @SourceDecay, who wrote the lyrics

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 & 2]
I want to love you like you deserve
But I think I need to love me first
It sounds so simple, written down
Keeps getting harder to spell it out

I want to fill your heart all the way up
But can't pour blood from an empty cup
You say the world is red and black and white
I say one day we'll be all right

[Chorus 1]
'Cause you make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
And I think you could make me whole

[Verse 3 & 4]
We're all eternal for a while
And, while we're here, I want to smile
It feels so easy in the sun
Gets so much harder on the run

I want to give you everything
But nothing good can come from nothing
You say the world's falling apart
I scream out damn it don't you start

[Chorus 2]
'Cause you make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
And I think you could make me whole

[Bridge]
But even as perfect as it seems
There's something dark about our dream
I pinch myself, try to wake up
Admit it's time to fill my cup

[Chorus 3]
You make me wild and free
You make me feel like me
You make me lose control
But only I can make me whole

Make Me Whole
