Everyone that know's me
Knows I'm always this way
Shouldering the blame
And dealing with things
But when it gets too much
What can I say?
What can I say?
So fucked that you get
I never wanted to
Acting out like a kid
Yeah it happened to you
In a candy store
Way to spend yourself poor
Want some more?
Take some more
Cold concrete buildings
Rising up to the sky
Blocking out the sun
With their cold concrete pride
If they ever come down
Who'll be to blame?
If they ever come down
So fucked that you get
I never wanted to
You know you'll fall like a brick
Yeah I'm afraid of it too
In a liquor store
Way to spend yourself poor
Want some more?
Take some more
You've always something to say
There's always something to say
You know life like a blind man
Knows how to paint
You've always something to say
There's always something to say
You know life but the other stuff
Gets in the way
Cold glass buildings
Rising up to the sun
Reflecting its rays
Down on everyone
If everything will burn
Who'll be to say?
Who'll be to say?
So fucked that you get
I never wanted to
Hanging out like a dick
Thinking I'm better than you
In a shoe store
Way to sell yourself poor
Want some more?
Take some more

And he said,
I guess you figured out just what you mean to me
You're second best
I didn't pass the test
So I'll smoke that shit like nothing matters
Four years forgotten for a chance at a dream
A forbidden lust
A lack of trust
All played parts in what's to ensue
La La La Love La Love La Love La Love Love La La Love
There were four of them
Happy they were great friends
But it collapsed
It couldn't last
You can't be friends if there's attraction
Four nights it's too soon
Four nights too long
I'll be sorry when you're gone
And she said,
Put two and two together
I guess that you'll get three
I loved you, you know
It's too bad you don't love me
At least you figured it out
Before you're seventy
And you're heading to the floor
And I don't want you anymore
La La La Love La Love La Love La Love Love La La Love
Four nights, four friends, four bearing problems
Four beds, four heads, four shamed it all had to end
I can't believe you lied to me
I can't believe you'd do that to me
I feel like a shoe
A worn, used shoe
Well if it makes you feel any better
He found out
I just left her
She picked him
I just let her
Shrugged and said goodbye forever
Four years of failure
And a fog of apathy
No I can't take it anymore
I'm heading for the door
La La La Love La Love La Love La Love Love La La Love

Market Poem

Then it is decided
We shall journey to the McKernan Market
In search of mayonnaise and drink deals
So they ventured out
Strides short talk a plenty
Talk a plenty
Let's tread carefully
I warned you this is not a dream
They went through the park
One took a step on a swing
Another walked up a slide
They all passed together through the trees
Through the trees
Let's tread carefully
I warned you this is not a dream
The time was summer
Cigarette butts and bird droppings
Littered the broken sidewalk
Saw the tag and knew it well
Warriors Meet Jesus
4 o'clock
Let's tread carefully
I warned you this is not a dream
The sign was lit
The lights were on
10:05pm
Closed
Have to come back
Have to come back
Tomorrow

No One's Listening

We all had a voice
Could all be heard
Now we can reach a million people
Without saying a word
I see five billion people screaming at the top of their lungs
And no one's listening
They say we're all connected
Isn't that great
You talk to your friends
Anytime of day
You can share who you are with the world they say
Then why do I see so many people sharing that they're lonely?
Cause we're overwhelmed, I see
We're overwhelmed by flat screens
Bright lights, signs, advertising, new communication
Too much information
Age of information
Just google it
All these different wikis
Playing dialectic
But separating the truth from lies takes time
And finding the whole truth is impossible
Feel so small and powerless
These troubles going on
Seems like no one cares
Like no one's doing their job
But they're all just sitting around like you
Worrying about everyone else's job
Cause we're overwhelmed, I see
We're overwhelmed by flat screens
Bright lights, signs, advertising, new communication
Too much information
Yeah we're overwhelmed, I hear
We're overwhelmed by silent fears
Won't ever have to talk in the world we got
And if we don't connect it's so much safer
Girl hunched over
Make-up running
Crying on the street
Can't see her through her tears
Walk by looking at your feet
If you see she passed away
On the news blog the next day
You'd post your sympathies
In twenty thirty years
We'll learn to go back in time
We'll wanna see the sixties
Wanna see our prime
We'll descend from outer space
One with our machines
We'll say we come in peace
They'll think we're aliens
Cause we're overwhelmed, I see
We're overwhelmed by flat screens
Bright lights, signs, advertising, new communication
Too much information
Yeah we're overwhelmed, I hear
We're overwhelmed by silent fears
Won't ever have to talk in the world we got
And if we don't connect it's so much safer
