Squirming little man- you're the victim- not your fault- better not come around here no more. you're a little fucking piece of shit.the kind that doesn't stop to think about the ones you say you love. but you're a little fucking piece of shit.the kind that makes me think violent thoughts and makes me want to open up... make some holes and pull your insides to the outside through your ear drums and torn eyelids your flesh over mine- i would watch and i would listen as i wore your body out. i would not forgive myself if i didn't have the chance to take a crack at what a hack you are. unoriginal and salacious, a disease, a goddamn virus, i dream your stomach falls out... you're a little fucking piece of shit

Bratting/Bad 07:09
make a plan to be better it'll have to be well-rehearsed sit and spit strategy stats of who's most experienced all that matters is that the fool trust me is most dangerous i hear them breathing heavy in the closet behind the boards i feel them beating down so much harder than before i fear them coming now that they're breaking down the door it's so much louder than i remembered when i was torched talk about something else try to forget what's in the fold are they talking about us now or are we just paranoid? my only con/son, not yours it's not what you're thinking, boy, it's worse I don't, no, need nobody i don't believe nobody i love you bad i need you bad i can think of all the times that you fucked me in the ass, oh- i love you bad i need you bad you took the fun out of joking became the king of over-thinking you burned it bad yeah, we've been had where would i be without you my pipe, my straw, my spoon i love you bad i need you bad
