Greetings fellow denizens of the Steemiverse! Here is my entry for this week's Steemit Open Mic, a not-actually-awful ;) song called Something Awful...

Something Awful

You're always gonna be that thing I want but can never truly have
And any tiny taste I take I know I'm being bad
Any little taste we take only makes us sad
But it's better than nothing
Better than nothing

So turn to me with that hungry hurt look in your eyes
We have gone so far beyond taking comfort in lies
But to feel my fingers on your skin one more time
Is better than nothing
It's better than nothing

And I love the taste of you
So I'll taste you 'til there's nothing left
I'll hold you to my body
Like a smoker with a cigarette
A junkie with a needle
I'll take what I can get
I don't need you
But I want you
Something awful

Something Awful

And if you leave today who knows when you'll be coming back?
It could be never and who wants that?
The drape of your hair, the quirk of your lips, only your eyes laugh
But it's better than nothing
It's better than nothing

'Cause I love the taste of you
So I'll taste you 'til there's nothing left
I'll hold you to my body
Like a smoker with a cigarette
A junkie with a needle
I'll take what I can get
I don't need you
But I want you
Something awful

Something awful
