Cake

Pretty picture
Was it a gift or was it bought by your mother?
A lovely conversation starter
Here’s the kicker
I’m only here until about late November
Another day just to remember
Heard it coming
The tick on the clock but it stops for a minute
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
More pretending
Why tell the truth when we can lie for a minute?
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
Moving quicker
You spilt your drink and let it bleed through the fabric
You’re drunk but what a stupid habit
Feeling sicker
We cut the cake, why don’t we eat? Tastes metallic
Let’s see who’s the first to grab it
Heard it coming
The tick on the clock but it stops for a minute
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
More pretending
Why tell the truth when we can lie for a minute?
And I don’t know what’s gonna happen
