Letters to Myself

Hello Ed, this is a letter to myself
It's just a reminder that I'll keep on the shelf
A note from me to me for when I feel like killing Steve
I know he's a horrible neighbor, but Ed you have to believe
That Steve is an evil man, but he doesn't deserve death
So put away your shotgun and take a long deep breath
I know he stole your barbeque, but you have to understand
Maybe he can't afford one, be the bigger man
And the trash he throws in your front yard is probably just fooling around
I'm glad you decided to read this, I hope it calms you down
Now I have to agree that it's hard to ignore
That your wife packed up and moved next door
But you don't have to go to prison over the little things he does
Pretend the spray-paint on your car is the way it always was
I hope you've decided against murder after reading this letter
I know that writing this to me has made me feel better

Ed, it's me, I just read what I wrote
I think I will kill Steve, here's my own little note
I have to be honest, what the hell where you thinking
I'm disgusted you pansy, and yes I've been drinking
Look, he stole your wife so here's the plan
We kill them both, come on Ed, be a man
Why would you try to make the decision hard
He pee's on your porch, his dog shit's in your yard
But I'm all out of ammo, so I hope you'll decide
To read this letter, then redeem your pride
It'll be back on the shelf, so you'll know where to find it
Just a reminder to kill him, you have my full support behind it

Hey, it's me again, I've read what I've been writing
I think it's time to come clean, the truth is not worth hiding
I'm terrified of Steve, complete intimidation
And no matter what he does I'll never act on my frustration
I don't know why we do all the lying we've done
How can I shoot Steve, I don't even own a gun
And I know it sounds crazy, but on some weird level
I worship the man though I believe he's the devil
So I'll keep living in fear and keep doing nothing about it
Keep hoping my wife moves back and keep feeling reason to doubt it
I know it's wrong to fear my neighbor, but I don't have a choice
It's scary when he yells at me, he has a real loud voice
Ed, I hope when you read this you're in better mental health
Because I'm all fucked up right now, I'm writing letters to myself .
