Get Hurt

Inspired by a gaslight anthem song

The smoke whispers in the bar and curls it's fingers in invitation to the men across the way. 

She's sat in her spot, the drinks filling without order..she came here to get hurt.

They stand in waiting with their careful calculations of how they will take her home, but the thing that they don't know...is that she would go anyway.

They ask her to play...wager a kiss...a pound of flesh for a well mounted dart or a hole in one. She will always tell them to do their worst...because she came here to get hurt.

The woman's fading at the seams but she came here to be torn apart...and to be rid of me...

She brought us here to get hurt...

She knows it will be the worst you see 

And she pretends to grow a little cooler and just focuses on the whiskey.

They ask her for sweet moments and darling smiles and the bets only grow steeper as she slips off the edge of the stool.

She'll do her worst to me...

I'm trembling on heels 

And I'm following blurred faces as she loves them blind.

They will take it out on me

because they came here to forget hurt...and do their worst to me 

But only in her name...

Left a view of "hell" behind my eyes... the numbness that we TRY so hard to FEEL through and when we do ...feel... the shadow of numbness returning is soooo hard to even bare... (and I did NOT misspell bare).
