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

LYRICS

White cat under a ladder
Is there a good kind of bad luck?
Fall 20 feet, land on your feet
Can you catch me when my balance is off?

Walking under a ladder
You can roll the dice
Say you’re the one, nat one
Stare into snake eyes

Circle the prey
Cross the path
Ignore the warnings
Of the white cat

White cat white cat
Under a ladder
Can’t tell if you’re bad luck
Or the purest sinner

White cat white cat
But rather the latter
No turning back 
Turned into dinner

White cat under a ladder
Might as well go up
Cat on the roof
No telling who will fall off

Walking under a ladder
You can roll the dice
Say you’re the one, nat one
Stare into snake eyes

Circle the prey
I’ve met my match
A musical warning
from the white cat

White cat white cat
Under a ladder
Can’t tell if you’re bad luck
Or the purest sinner

White cat white cat
But rather the latter
No turning back
Turned into dinner

White Cat

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
