I AM What I Hate

This is the best damn chapter in my life story And you’re not in it No, you’re not in it It’s a perfect kiss at a gorgeous sunset And it’s not with your lips It’s not with your lips Because these are the pages where the reader’s taken By a stronger love interest than you’ll ever be Because a love like yours is merely methodone To tide me over until the real shit comes along Because you’re the ghost writer Of the worst damn chapter in my whole life I need an editor To erase you and embrace the highlights Because you sentenced this captain to walk the plank And we’re going down, going down, going down This is the best damn scar on all of my flesh And you carved it for me You carved it for me It’s the harshest word in my arsenal But I’m plagiarizing I’m plagiarizing Because I’m the golden boy of this cursed cityscape Your broken transmission The poison icing on your wedding cake Because a love like yours Is like an STD It only flares up If there’s no medicine in me And you’re the ghostwriter Of the worst damn chapter in my whole life I need an editor To erase you and embrace the highlights Because there’s blood and ocean on your hands And we’re going down, going down, going down, going down Going down This is the best damn chapter of my life story Because you’re not in it
