THE MEXICAN STANDOFF // THE STALEMATE
YOU SCREAM HATE THAT'S OKAY WITH ME,
YOU'LL NEVER GET TO TASTE THE TRAGEDY OF INFIDELITY.
BABY ITS THE KIND OF COUGH SYRUP THAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT.
ITS EASY ISN'T IT NOW TO STRAY FROM THE LIGHT?
YOU PUSH AND I PULL, GOING AROUND AND AROUND IN CIRCLES.
AREN'T YOU TIRED OF IT BABY?
YOU CALL MY BLUFF AND THE CARDS ARE ON THE TABLE BUT YOU'RE WRONG THIS TIME BABY GIRL
YOU BET IT ALL, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS TIME YOU MINX?
THROW BLOOD, INFIDELITY, AFFECTION AND YOUR MAUVE LIPSTICK IN THE MIX,
WHAT DO YOU GET?
JUST LIKE WHEN WE FIRST MET
HORNS ENTANGLED WE FOUGHT HEAD TO HEAD TO WIN,
THE VICTOR WAS OUR LOVE
BUT TODAY YOU STAND ACROSS THE RIVER OF THE TRUST I HAVE LOST;
TELL ME BABY WAS THIS SOMETHING THAT WAS PREDESTINED?
DID THE LINES OF YOUR PALM TELL YOU THAT, DID YOU PULL OUT DEATH FROM THE TARROT CARD DECK?
THE RED AND BLUE ROSES ON YOUR COLLARBONES ARE ENOUGH THREAT BUT TO ME IT NEVER WAS
BECAUSE YOU AND I BOTH KNOW HOW MESSED UP WE CAN GET.
WHY DON'T WE GIVE UP?
WHY DON'T WE DOUSE THE FLAMES THAT BURN US?
"TO ASHES, TO ASHES" YOU WOULD ALWAYS WHISPER,
BUT FROM THE ASHES WE WILL NOT RISE TODAY,
NEITHER DO WE GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT.
YOUR EYES THEY SHINE SO BRIGHT,
THEY LIGHT UP AT THE PROSPECT.
"I'LL NEVER EVER GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT."
I SMILE "BRING IT ON DARLING."
a/n : just two headstrong characters cheating on each other and yet not giving up and admitting their faults. they'll not go down without a fight.
