Bad Word

from Acid Casual by Brooks Strause

/

lyrics

I do not cast a shadow when I preen and I strut through the dark. My steps are close and narrow when I feel my way around the park. I have not made a mistake in judging the depth of your worth. My heart falls prey to my headache. That's just how I emerged from the earth. Deep down in that little mind is a bad word you've been longing to say. If you let yours out, I'll let mine out in kind and we'll be okay. I do not have a reason for making the messes I do. My girl was taught a lesson, but I did that for you. I have not broken her fall, nor do I plan to break yours. My fortunes were not made with cat calls, but with bones hidden under my floors. Deep down in that little mind is a bad word you've been longing to say. If you let yours out, I'll let mine out in kind and we'll be okay.
