(written late 2008 or early 2009)

we're all clutched to our crutch

plunging forward yet struck

we reach contentment only through our assumptions

always purging what won't fit down this narrow path we've paved

sacrifice our better senses to feel safe

hate myself sometimes for so often playing along.

chasing after the ends of the threads and ending up tangled in questions.

should i be feeling resentment? should i be thankful?

days:a daze,an array of mazes and races.

the oblivious pride themselves in their rankings & places.

stretching out the trivial to satisfy their hunger

eyes unable read between the lines;the bigger picture,trapped within their shudders

an ongoing,unending chase,a world with no time to wonder.

no time,no time.

ouf of fear they woukdnt understand

you turned yourself into a different pman

saw the holes in their thinking and switched sides

they all just laughed and rolled their eyes

you went with the first guy who'd accept you

took the easy way out and its wrecked you

have withdrawals and throw up at work

fall for another sweet talking jerk

your parents are addicts and you are too

once he died you didnt know what else to do

now youre a trainwreck who everyone writes off

the red of the bowl lets you see since they cut the lights off

someone got too close, you got scared anhd ran

swore youd never fall victim to a man

but you just seem that empowered to me

scoffind at everything you see

dont hide your light away

dont let it go to waste

dont worry what theyll say

dont grieve for yesterday

lets take that jean jacket and throw it in the fire

make whatever changes needed to get you inspired

let's pull him back oit you and celebrate his return

because that pain could make you fly instead of burn
