In A Lose Lose Situation
Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no time to be afraid
There's a way
To clean up the mess you made
If I could tell the truth
Or lie would I attempt to do at the same time
Expect you to apologize for trying
To make me so up tight
Don't say its just a game we play
I can't loose the taste
If you regulate how the blood is pumping
Through the veins from my heart into my brain
In time this blood supply
Will change me from red to white
Every thought that you know I'm thinking
Ay as well be the knife stuck in my back
This taxing fever makes me gravitate to this place
This is still my life
And yours to defy
Anyone in their right mind would ever let you inside
Anyone in their right mind
A broken ties with the neighborhood
A feeling like
From an empty glass
Of nothing good
And ___
Deciding as I wait for her to entertain
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
The right time and the right way to elevate
Careful not to (to breath in [3x])
To breath in the air that so proudly puts to death
My own fathers name
I remember when your hand started shaking
There's a better way to clean up the mess you've been making
