Breaking Bad

Everyone has habits

good, bad, beautiful, ugly

Defining Failure vs Success

Which is best?

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake

As I remember you day after day

Sudden flashbacks of better days

Lying in the sun next to you

 

My habits like a bad Breaking Bad reference

Leading me to lose the ones I love

but somehow gaining a friend.

Gaining a tolerance

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake

As I remember you day after day

Sudden flashbacks of better days

Lying in the sun next to you

 

Defining characteristics

forgetting all the statistics

I’ll never forget about you.

I can never leave you

 

Turning to methods I never thought about

keep it a secret

working fast while my weakness grows

Secrecy within everything I do

...I can’t tell you

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake

As I remember you day after day

Sudden flashbacks of better days

Lying in the sun next to you

 

Breaking the law

this world’s a scary place

can’t even walk the streets

safely

My clothes smell of raw chicken

I can’t wash my clothes

This has gone too far

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake

As I remember you day after day

Sudden flashbacks of better days

Lying in the sun next to you

 

 

Deceiving everyone everything

nothing left clean not even the riches of the world

Hurled into this moment

losing everything, the beginning

 

Guns drawn, barrels everywhere

The desert never seemed so nice

Where’d it all begin

Will there ever be an end?

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake

As I remember you day after day

Sudden flashbacks of better days

Lying in the sun next to you

 

My heart belongs to the habit

I guess I’ll never shake it

Love doesn’t die that easy

It’s not a want but a need

 

I have a habit that won’t seem to shake.

I’ll always remember you

Until the next sun
