Beat And Bounce
Beat And Bounce

Beat & Bounce as if it’s a game
Nowadays the rules surrounding romance have changed
People would rather beat than love
The appeal’s moved away from staying, they’d sooner run
The chase is the norm
But the funny thing is so many remain torn between their desire for intimacy & their urges for pleasure
Knowing no better than to exchange bodily fluids as if it were as commonplace as making an enquiry about the weather
Knowing no better than to jump from bed to bed so long as the sex remains regular
The hit it and quit it
The beat it and leave it
Its almost recreational
Whatever happened to dating where communication wasn’t all in screams & moans
Where faster, rougher, louder, stronger, quicker, finished in a couple of minutes wasn’t all the description you had as memories to treasure from someone you were seeing
People beat away being romantically invested to accommodate being heartless & detached
Swearing a vendetta against emotions as an enemy they’d sooner reject than keep on hand
Apparently it exposes vulnerability, encourages weakness, expatiates the probability for pain because all romances are rugged so who’s to say this won’t be jagged cutting us down in a slow and excruciating way till we come to resent the very thing we vowed we’d never feel again
Beat and Bounce
Here it comes in full circle
And that’s the problem nowadays- people assume that dating is all the same
Once you get hurt, you’ll be burned by everyone that comes your way
So condoms have become the protection we use in keeping the STD called “catching feelings” at bay
We just lurk from bed to bed
We play instead of entertaining the idea of getting serious
That kind of commitment is something we’ve drowned
No emotions allowed, at least not for the time being
Beat and Bounce
Beat and Bounce
That’s the climate of the dating society of today
This friends with benefits arrangement
But, in my eyes, assuming leniency towards our emotions in this scenario is impossible is only kidding ourselves
At least one side will get somewhat involved, even caught up
But we still try to beat & bounce
We’re too hesitant to make ends meet trying for something of substance so we’d rather a rubberized style commitment
Expandable & expendable.
