The Third Time (Usually Is Cynical)

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

Where's the nervousness before the kiss?

What does it mean with open eyes and parted lips?

Who wrote this moment to be like a B grade script?

How does it end? And will we know when it does?

I think we'll know when it does

I think we knew when it did



Hey, I know it'd be easier in omniscient view

But hey, you'll always be the first person for me

Though I know I'm the thrid rewrite for you

Could you pretend that I'm the charm

As it's said the third time usually is



I believed it whole heartedly, you know it!

I threw myself down on the floor, you ignored it!

I molded myself into a false pretense, you loved it!

You fed off of it! You became entralled in it!

All the while I grew into something I'm wasn't

Your pleasure at my expense



Hey, I know it'd be easier in omniscient view

But hey, you'll always be the first person for me

Though I know I'm the thrid rewrite for you

Could you pretend that I'm the charm

As it's said the third time usually is



Cynics, you say are those who didn't have whatever it took

But if it weren't for them and their criticisms

Where would you be?

Whould you look the way you look?

Whould you still try to impress the world?

All the while the credits run



I believed in you whole heartedly

Still you asked me to prove it

And in that moment I too became yet just another cynic
