I waited in a long line to see an empty shell of a person I once knew

and when I got to the front and felt her hand, cold and hard
like my heart in that moment,

I knew I was dead, too.

light me up like the joint you lit in your room filled with outdated things
"Have you tried shrooms?"
Drugs! Hah! What a marvelous way to exist
life gets me high enough, it ***** me up,
All that I see is your ignorance and it blinds me and wraps me up
like a piece of gum you chewed and placed on the gum wrapper I orignated from,
I repeat, light me up, like the bulb in your room that you turned on as a child to read books late at night
but now you light it up before you **** a girl just right
and she moans and enjoys it cause shes all yours tonight
she says, "be my match, be my fuse, transfer your flame, let me be your muse"
You are my wind, but I am just a kite

If nothing happens, do we let it happen?
Or do we sit back and do nothing
As if nothing can be done?

Burts bees mint lip balm, I can still feel it, smell it, as if it were on me,
And I sit there and watch her overly apply it on her lips, I can feel the presence of
Innocence and bike riding up the winding trails towards Kensington and
there should have been a sign that told me to stop where I was going, to prevent
me from traveling to a different state of mind where affection was insignificant
and where losing myself was a crime

When I get in a car
and I look out the windows
I see faces of full storied people

and I create scenes in my head
about what their lives are like
so I pretend that the man in the corvette
is going to pick up his daughter that he
hasnt seen in months

and the girl driving the truck
is going to the mall
so she can buy a dress for
her highschools annual mini ball

and the family in the mini van
is going on vacation
to a beach in florida
but first they have to stop at the
gas station

but this is all in my head
and none of it is probably true

the man is probably buying some ciggerettes
while the girl most likely goes to see a boy
to give him lots of ***
and the family is going out to eat
at an arbys but the dad just lost
his job so he cant buy his two daughters
anymore barbies

but thats also in my head so im not really sure
and so I stare at the window until I think some more

and there's a wreck on the side of I-35
so I take a moment inside my soul
to wish whoever goodbye
and I picture their lover at
their funeral
clenching chin about ready to cry
but maybe I'm just overthinking
maybe they made it out alive

at the nearest stop light
in my favorite city
sits a homeless man at the corner
clenching a sign scribbled with
"Will take any"

We keep on driving
it starts to rain on the way
I wonder what the homeless man
is thinking as he's drenched in
gods dismay

and the sky is crying hard now
for the lives of the full-storied people
but maybe thats all in my head

because in 20 minutes its sunny
I get out of the car
and forget what I thought
