Seven Eleven
Falling Through Seven Eleven: A Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
She don't lie 'bout the tools of her trade
She is honest about her profession and tools.
When everything goes dark
During difficult times.
she'll keep her blades so sharp
She maintains her skills and readiness.
So I'll walk home and lie on the floor
The narrator returns home and lies down.
Just a few minutes more
Desire for a few more moments of rest.
just a little stain on her chalkboard
A minor mistake or regret in her history.
We were quick to hurry outside
Quickly leaving a place.
The subway stood still past the Clarence Bar and Grill
Subway stopped near Clarence Bar and Grill.
So I packed up and moved out of here
Leaving the current situation.
Just a few years along the line
A few years into the future.
I could hold out for the finish line
Perseverance until the end.
I threw it away I was over my head
Mistake made, realizing it was too much.
I had Seven Eleven stories to tell
Stories related to Seven Eleven.
I was under her spell then it slipped thru my hands
Initially captivated, but it slipped away.
I found Seven Eleven sure ways to fail
Discovering seven ways to fail.
I woke up a babe in the woods
Feeling naive and inexperienced.
When everything goes South
During challenging times.
the little hands to mouth
Basic survival instincts.
If she'd just look up she'd find me right there
Yearning for attention and recognition.
Holding on for dear life I was getting used to the crazy ride
Adapting to a chaotic life.
I threw it away I was over my head
Making a significant mistake.
I had Seven Eleven stories to tell
More stories about Seven Eleven.
I was under her spell let it slip thru my hands
Initially enchanted, but it slipped away.
I found seven eleven true ways to fall
Finding different ways to fall or fail.
All of our blessed folk tales
Reflecting on cherished stories.
We thought we'd last for sheer will
Belief in lasting through sheer willpower.
And for all that we hoped would prevail
Hoping for the triumph of desired outcomes.
Bow down and run for the kill
Submission and aggressive pursuit of goals.
So I threw it away I was over my head
Discarding something valuable.
I was Seven Eleven minutes too late
Realizing the mistake but too late.
I was under her spell then it slipped thru my hands
Being enchanted but losing grip.
I found Seven Eleven true ways to fall
Discovering various ways to fall or fail.
I threw it away I was over my head
Letting go and making a significant mistake.
I was Seven Eleven minutes too late
Realizing the mistake, but it's too late.
I was under her spell then it slipped thru my hands
Enchanted but losing control.
I found Seven Eleven true ways to fall
Finding different ways to fall or fail.
