Love (sic)-Christian Scott

Love - Scroobius Pip Years-years-years ago my mother used to say to me. 'In this world Elwood' she- she always called me Elwood. 'In this world Elwood, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.' Well for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant. You may quote me. If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a f**king scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom. jj-jj-jj- just cause you made our bed doesn't mean you had to lie in it look me in the eye sayin together till we die and shit well feel my f**kin pulse cause I ain't f**king dead yet listen close does it echo through your headset? when we first met, I didn't know what I was doing and I guess yo were sick of that girl's boyfriend you were screwing instead of thinking in my head were you worth pursuing I shoulda looked into your eyes and seen a storm was brewing but you needed a new angle so you intercepted my life line I must admit you were looking good so i granted you my time behind every acute angle you find an obtuse one as a hand caressed my thigh over my head a fresh noose hung but this one I thought maybe I could trust her we'd grown close over time I though maybe I'd sussed her I threw my heart shaped anchor with all the strength i could muster it fell short and ripped up the hard seabed up in clusters but that didn't phase me, I just kept on going with my chest ripped open and my heart still showing i was naive like that, see my mind was still groing I thought with trust and persistence that the love would start flowing but it didn't so I pushed and pushed to invoke new levels of love but instead we just broke at that point you chose to let me in and that's where all the problems began to begin If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a f**king scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom. now just suppose I was to juxtapose my soft right cheek against your nose would you look me in the eyes and fall in love like the T.V. shows? or maybe if I took a rose with an envelope with a note enclosed that said our love inside me like a flower grows would it really make any f**king difference? cause it shouldn't would you sell yourself for one cheap gesture? cause I couldn't and I wouldn't I know that's all it'd take to win you back but I ain't looking to soil my shoes on such a well trodden track so you can take your love by numbers and put it up on the rack just impose your shit and baggage on some other mindless hack now just suppose I was to juxtapose my tightened fist against your nose releasing blood with color deeper than the deepest rose releasing streams of anger that we all have yet no one shows release me from the f**king chains of heartbreak that you sill impose and that'd be wrong and I ain't gonna do it but there ain't no harm in putting this plot in my mind and walking through it so f**k you for still spending time with my friends and f**k them for not knowing what's appropriate and when and it's f**k up that all the good times seem to blend into one big f**king mess from the beginning to the end so take a good look at my face and you'll see that this little smile seems outta place now go ahead and look closer but I'll never let you trace the tracks of my tears If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a f**king scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom.
