Slick

I open my hand til my skin becomes taut
Only to find that I'm red-handed, that I've been caught
Said she thought that I was a great catch
Meanwhile baiting her hook for a chance at discovery,
channeling her fears into a single factor,
creating a quantity of problems to be multiplied
I won't lie; I take it standing still with her voice in my face
Masking the glassing of the planet, she didn't plan anyway
Didn't bother to plan it.
Instead, she got a different plan in her head
Gonna run the place the way, gonna jog her mind
with a mile a minute coming out all of the time
I don't need this, it definitely isn't healthy
So I hit the town, total downtown knock out
Clock cleaned with the power of Pine-Sol
Saw the person I was looking for,
per chance her percent of effort was a hundred and four
To get right in front of me
Left to get a drink and get back to me
Where's the issue here, I've got plenty to see
She's pretty, oh so pretty, just like a magazine
I couldn't see her halo because she said she left it at home
Along with the rest of her games because she said she was laying it low
Said she was hit with bricks from her family affairs, no fair,
Not a single chance of fresh air, only a chance of rain
Scattered showers part of her daily routine
She's laying around sulking instead of staying clean
Her first night out spending something other than time
And killing it rather than her precious mind
Over dumb founded founding morals, and rules
Rulers that created them to be broken
Like off the back of your hand once the teacher's done croaking
Said she was tired of problems with math involved
Her father plus another equaled something not easily solved.
Until I heard the name, feeling sheepish and hollow
Sleepy, and almost fell down as I swallowed
the news like a bird with the word
Remembering something sickening about my girl
She felt so slick around the older crowd
The colder crowd
The men who had problems talking loud
And I made the connection, Verizon,
connected the dots, the numbers and the sun on the horizon
I was finally free to help this girl recover
Pull the blankets back up and out from under her
And my girl, now my ex, she wonders why I moved away
and am now hanging with the daughter of her beau today.
