Ode

What is it in a person's attitude
That makes them want to be so rude
Jump down your throat and act the
Fool

I don't like that feeling
Walking down the street
Seeing someon you don't like
But just so happen to meet
And say "Hi"
Like a gentleman should
Passing by
But it ends up something like

Hi.
Hi?
Hi.
You must be high comin here
And taking that tone with me

Don't you know
That wherever I go
I hope
I you don't show up?

Because my patience with you is wearing
A little bit thin
And though in your mind
You think you win
While you chill there sporting a jaded grin
But you know what?

I aint gonna take it anymore
Every time I hear you lie
you say something that would
Make me want to cry
I just want to get away from it all and
Die

Not a damn thing I can do though
To make you stop
To make you turn
Unless you see the opportunity
To give me another burn

I just have to ask you
Why?
When I say
Hi.
You thrash me, bash me, and smash me

But you know what?

Goodbye
