Why does this have to be so difficult When I just want them to like me?
Why does my mouth not stop when it’s supposed to When I find myself being disgusting again?
I mean
If I really believed And you had the chance to die in my name again Would you?
I’m only human There are like Billions of us
And I was never kingly Or knightly Chivalry sounds like something you do when you stab someone I’ve never stabbed anyone
How come you made all these other poets famous and not me?
Do they serve beer in heaven? I like beer But beer is bad for me Am I bad for me?
What part of me does audacity come from? How I survived cancer But somehow feel defeated When I can’t get a phone number
I mean
I am only human But am made from your image And I know everyone says you’ve got a sense of humor So I just wanna know what carnival mirror I fell out of
Careless like a soda stain on an end table Bitter like my mouth an hour after coffee
Why can’t I sleep at night?
Are ghosts real because I think my house is haunted?
If I was born to do something when will I know?
Or if there really are answers somewhere Where should I go?
Is my life really just some kind of TV show?
Is it boring?
Is it long?
Is it going to be short?
Hey Hey Hey
Do you hear me?
If I truly believed Would you tell me?
Because I know for sure I was built funny My ears aren’t small enough to withstand The bass drum boom Of the things my heart keeps sayin?
Speaking with a sound Like a train Always heading forward But never knowing Really Where to go
