Opium - Castle

She called me up

Said she needed to talk

Desperately need a friend

Say she need me again

I know this story should probably end it before it starts

Me and logic have a meeting

But my lower brain attends

Fuck it

Just listen to her

Tell me she’s trying to keep it together

But all her new nigga does is just rip into her

Initial thought: «Screw her

Forget saving this chick

If you play superhero

She’ll be your villainess.»

Logic has a loud voice, but the heart is undecided

Aching to open up, and aches even more to invite her

Then I’m reminded how good it feels to be snug inside her

Before I know it she’s in my bed and we fuck till mañana

Playing casual with questions like, «How's your mama?»

I know she couldn’t a give a fuck, but I still give an answer

Because we both know we’re just stalling the drama

So grab your armor and brace yourself for ensuing trauma

And I know that I should tell her kick rocks

Break a toe

But I won’t

Cause reason ain’t stronger than lust

And i know that I should dead it

Give it the final blow

But I don’t

Cause reason ain’t stronger than us

So we’re right back to the arguments

Wasn’t long before it stopped being marvelous

Kisses on her neck seem to be enough to pause this shit

If only for an hour

Then I’m left to wonder how I fell for this poisonous flower

Perhaps I was attracted to the scars around her heart

Should of warned me of the last time that she was torn apart

In my arrogance I tried to be the beacon in the dark

Then I fell

But there was no one below me with a tarp

Call herself 'bored', so she’s packing up and leaving

Never cheated, always given you respect, and that’s a weakness?

What the fuck?

What you mean you and that other nigga speaking?

I guess all that you needed was for you to be mistreated, huh?

Feel like I’m bleeding, bruh

She cries, and I eat it up

Fiery goodbye kiss, I’m tryin' to heat it up

Say that I needed her, she say that he need her more

Then she leaves me there, frozen, staring at the door

And I know that I should tell her kick rocks

Break a toe

But I won’t

Cause reason ain’t stronger than lust

And i know that I should dead it

Give it the final blow

But I don’t

Cause reason ain’t stronger than us

Another promise to myself to keep my guard up

Another beat is a canvas to draw some bars up

Just to remind myself: when something seem too good to be true

It probably is, and I shouldn’t get beside myself

Besides, shorty’s doing well, and that is all that counts

She and dude living together, she became his spouse

She don’t need me now

So why am I in shorty’s house?

With the proverbial shovel ready to dig shorty out?
