Wild Thing - Grieves

You should seen it before you jumped on in

And realized that if you look before you leap

Then you decide to sink or swim

But you dove into that social pool

Powdering your nose huh

And going home with people that you hardly even know

And you’re a ghost

Now look at you, you hardly even speak

Haven’t woken up to the thought of getting clean in fuckin' weeks

And if you did, I guarantee you’d never leave the sheets

Home alone until that fix comes, put you on your feet

And some blame it on the city, some blame it on the streets

Some bury it inside beneath that dream of being free

But I can see it in your eyes

That you’re aware of what it needs

How you feel like it’s the only thing in love that doesn’t leave

And it’s a shame, cause I remember life without the games

And the bittersweet acknowledgement of how it’s gonna change

But the rain can’t wash you if you’re laying in the dirt

And the pain can’t change you if you blame it on the hurt

So god help us.

I mean look at you, Mr. I-don't-even-have-a-clue

Mr. get-it-right-the-first-time or shut it down from you

Cause you’re the boss, and Daddy taught you how to be a man

Via stepping out on Mommy and releasing with your hands

And now it hurts, cause you can’t even question what is right

Life is nothing but a challenge and you want to win the fight

So go ahead, try and make that old man proud

And beat that last remaining angel off your shoulder to the ground

And then escape

Slap the world steady in its face and make moves on em

Force em all to cater to your taste

Exterminate the good in you that tried to fly away

When you figured out the only human part of you is pain

And then it raised you

Sunk its dirty fangs into your drained roots

Threw you to the fire

When you thought that you were flame proof

So that’s the reason why you’re sinking alone

And going home without a rescuer and drinking alone

So god help us.

Now jump, yeah jump into the fire, just jump

Yeah jump into the fire, just jump, yeah jump into the fire

You’re Mommy’s little angel, I’m Daddy’s little squire.
