To Have Torn

from Rain, Rain by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

If I were a hurricane I’d be the evil eye
A passerby
Torn down from the sky
The known flits in reply
Time may fly
But keep the ground on standby
Don’t bother to try
Your home tears by
The tolerance wasn’t high
The middle is not awry
To the core I pry
Screaming where am I
I sigh
The commotion never seems to shy
Because my life is a battle cry

Run down the street
Bare feet
Glass beneath
I destroy everyone I meet
I am the skip and I am the fleet
I do not play neat
No wrangler has me beat
Cut from a sheet
Not the same cloth as a ghost or belief
Not from a sheath
Blow over a new leaf
Lie in a pile, lost in grief
Of the girl I used to defeat
I am bittersweet
Start again but I meet
Watchers meek
They peek
Seek to leak
Photographs of havoc I wreak
I am on a streak
Fuck up every day of the week
Do not speak
I shriek

I am the center of this
My wind blows like a kiss
It’s a blitz
That splits
A nest off
Where it sits
I am in a storm that hits
I start off by calling it quits
By throwing violent fits
I am a martyr who sits
I am shard that never fits
I am what not ms
I reminisce
In my center there once was bliss
That now none of us gets
I am demolition in your midst
I throw down my fist
I break my wrist
It’s you I’ve I missed
Number 1 on my shitlist
I come out swinging with a twist
I am everything they resist
I hate that I exist
I cannot desist
Tear it all down I hissed
The earth and I can’t coexist

I have ruined everything especially myself
The wreckage is all I’ve felt
I was the thundercloud that fell
I swept away our home as well
Opposites attract; storm and quell
Just as well as shotgun to shell
You are no longer centered can you tell
You are in line with a belt
