i’ve strayed too close to the edge
as i wandered through the night
giving in to sloth and distraction
playing afool on the treacherous heights
now that the sun has risen
i realise how close i am indeed
nearly slipped into the chasm
yet a part of me expected it
i still have a chance
it’s not quite over yet
i’ll strive night and day
so […]

you’re beautiful and sweet
cute and quiet
just the type of girl i’d hit
you make my mind riot
but you ain’t no good ‘ho
cause you’ve been tricked
you’ve loved and lost so
you’ve never forget that dick
pity ain’t it with all your baggage
dragging you down to the bottom
perhaps someday you’ll lose the luggage
then your life can again blossom

so you’re filled with pride
having gone on that ride
that makes you the boss
and everyone else’s lost
so that makes you top dog
you get to lead the pack
while your underlings slog
you get to decide who’s sacked
looking at your lacklustre performance
well sir i am filled with indignation
here i issue you a challenge
i demand satisfaction

you’d think i’d have enough
living it hard and living it rough
but you don’t know half of it
here why don’t you take a seat
so the sun comes up before i rise
does it matter, is it a surprise?
perhaps other people do it otherwise
does the herd’s folly make good advice?
i don’t know what you mean
this is what i […]

you seem so reserved
frozen there in time
not quite my preserve
yet tantalisingly sublime
you’re cool but not cold
like a snowflake on a cheek
in no way bold
yet just what i seek
you’re like a rose in the snow
blooming despite the cold
even through the darkness
you give off that unique glow
