Play Nice

Queen of "darts"

It’s 808 again

You’re in my head again

It was easy to ice you out

Before I let you in again

So…I guess that’ means it’s all my fault

Here we are again

Got this choice again

Something about the clock on the wall

There goes the time again

angels and demons

voices combine

how much more

can I take this time

the look in the mirror

the smile, the frown

the ugly memory

the world's dumbest clown

the mirror it speaks now

it whispers to you

it tells you of me

then you see me too

i'm perfect, im flawed

you hate me the same

you try and you fail

it whispers your name

Black and white

A game of chess

You wanna play

Let’s make a mess

Who makes the rules

Well that depends

What is the goal

Where does it end

Don’t be a bitch

Yeah let’s play nice

You know I’m not

Gonna say that twice

This fire streak

It’s burning hot

Let’s burn it down

Let’s change the plot

Don’t test me now

That isn’t cool

I’ll do it back

That be the rule

This fire yo

It burns so hot

It’s burning now

All in my thought

My thoughts of you

Well you and me

The path that’s forged

I know you see

To see and know

To try and be

To live a life

That you are pleased

I’ve come so far

From where I was

Two different worlds

And it’s because

I followed hope

Well yes and no

Faced the dark

Which way to go

Left or right

Left you said

Heads or tails

I picked heads

Too much fire

It’s too real

To really write

Just how I feel

I wanna put

My thoughts on ice

Just fall asleep

Re-roll the dice

Let’s fight fair

But let’s not play

This ain’t the time

There is a way

What do you want?

For me to do

You’d burn it down

Before you lose

Back and forth

A game of fate

Why mess around

Just shoot straight

Hole in one

Hit bullseye

Checkmate bitch

Aces high

We gonna play

You gonna lose

Won’t hurt no more

No I refuse

All that talk

You talking smack

I don’t deserve

Behind my back

I’m playing nice

Yeah I heard

Then disappeared

Without a word

That fire burns

Don’t push your luck

It’s gonna rage

I don’t give a fuck

I guess I do

Enough to say

I did want you

Enough to stay

Just wanna be done

Can’t take this no more

I’m all out of words

Let’s even the score

Not a fan of the game

But you know I can play

This is over right now

It ends today

I toss and I turn

Now all alone

I’m not upset

Because I’m in the zone

It’s always a win

No matter the loss

Which one of us won

That coin toss

The score on the board

No it doesn’t matter

I’ll silence you out

I don’t want the chatter

I’m blocking you out

Here and in dream

You’ll know when it happens

You’ll feel what I mean

Three strikes your out

We way past that mark

Your playing your hand

With a trained shark

No I’m not that way

But I can be

When all that I gave

Was turned against me

My heart is so kind

Call it a flaw

But Scorpio strikes

On that last straw

I’m kind and I’m loving

Queen of the hearts

My kindness not weakness

Queen skilled with the darts
