eating scraps in the mud
with my fellow swine
ashamed of what i've done
laying in crimes
i never set out to hurt you
it was unintentionally
you were a casualty
of me
my sickness
the sword i yield
looking back at the carnage
my past a battlefield
gotta get back up
can't stay down for long
sitting in guilt is
horrible livin'
i'm a survivor
and will be
forgiven

born into nothing
still got most
made it to the bottom
from the starting post
expectation throttled
expected overdose
no escape
cant evade
foundations were imposed

i cutsied my way to the front of your line
but now i can't keep you occupied
i think i bit off more than i can chew cuz
i'm way too old to keep up with you
so i'm getting off this high altitude climb
and trying my luck on ourtime

today a dark 
sky is
   wrapping
itself around
my town,
squeezing
    all that
surrounds
in its strong
muscular
   hands, one
solitary crow
    manages
to slip free,
flies over
highways,
      streets
& trees,
I watch it
enviously as
it disappears
thinking
what I
would do
      for a pair
    of wings

you and me
is not reality
and its getting
slipping
away from me
i'm just a trick
your mirrors and smoke
bring me a schwarma platter
and a diet coke
if i am nothing and
never have been
then how come
when you do my laundry
you get your vs
and my dress shirts
all mixed in??
