Sweet Talk Caffeine Vol.II

Pour shame all over us   Harden into a crust   cement.   Forget the glamour and ?Mumble a jackhammer   under your breath.   Hide your face in the curtains   Better unsaid so close   And it rolls off the tongue   Almost.   The world expects a pose   Perfectly natural   loosen up.   Smearing wet concrete and   Swearing you’ll never be caught.   At your weakest, etched in stone   And we’re frozen here, peeking.   “But it’s so easy for you ”   “Yeah, there’s always one thing”   “Do you have something to tell me? ”   “Say something”   “Anything”   “Relax”   ” It’s just a phase ”   “You’ll grow out of it”   Believe anything anyone ever tells you   It’s not funny anymore    It’s the thing you hate the most   The thing you hate the most   The thing you hate Almost.   Almost, sweet talk, caffeine.
