CraVe (bad intentions)

 

 

Casey Renee Kiser

 

                   You’re past dead to me

                   so just stop circling

                   Take your last shot of gin

                   and get back the fuck in

                  

                   that grave.

                   Well, I’ve got other things

                   besides this shoveling

                   on my chore list today

                   Get back in there and stay

 

                   You crave

                   the low life, so have it! Oh yes, haVe it!

                   Stop playin’, you just fit!

                   You got what you came for

                   The moon settles the score

                  

                   I’m adding some dirt

                   ‘cause I heard it can’t hurt

                   Intent rots you inside

                   Worms will enjoy the ride
