Chicago Average weirdo
Sometimes waking up is a smack in the face Like a whip to a slave of a superior race I offer my shoes to he who dare try a taste Like snorting a line of strick nine as long as a shoelace Or perhaps some *** say 151 proof with a match for the chase It feels that my eyelids have developed a chaffe Words only hurt directed at face Alone and disconnected I slip right by you undetected But I'm only here with you as expected Call me nowhere man who stands emotionless Holding your bible but no revival You say "to understand to be a man" While I'm in complete wonderment That you ask what happened to humanity It's hung from your vanity the one by the writings on the wall Your book of lies leveling its instability You sit and paint your face of kindness to get beside us Spreading false hope greed sliding from your forked tongue And I say to you go away I've got my own problems Pray the day I do not wake

Average tuesday
Watching from between the blinds, dark of night Fight not flight Morphing figures from mere shadow and clutter Eye for an eye Conspirators working in unison bump, bump, bump Wait for it Not quite a coward I'm tolerant to fear There, right there! Mannic sorts of confusion, used to feel some queer I'm only kidding just go back to bed Black holes looking back between stripes on the mirror I know I know its all in my head They used to say that reflection was me Jaded mess of mass corrosion set in a soul without beauty A man without friends Long journey before me Alone until the end
