Psycho

Cold as steel, the way that you feel.

I'm tempted, your gaze brings a chill.

Ain't no vampires or blood suckers.

Just low dim lights and loose lovers.

I recover, right back to sin.

I remember those old love songs you used to pen.

Now I pen them myself, how we were like Ryuk and Rem.

In the same story, but no glory in the end.

All I wanted was the end.

All you wanted was pretend.

Like a fake image to go with that fake a** smile.

Fake visits to go with that snake a** bile. 

Oh child, you gotta burn to reach miles. 

I burned, became vile.

Though I'm glad for all the trials, felt I didn't learn s***, kept repeating the old cycle. 

Think, eyes, wink. 

Blink, lies, shrink. 

Drink, dive, sink.

Psycho.
