May 2018
Just as soon as the emotion comes in
The emotion has vanished from my ten fingers
Those god awful tweakers have failed me again
Like a mouse on speed, Iā€™m running into the streets

As I revel across the kitchen floor
Socks drenched in dirt and adolescence
I find that the only true time Iā€™m happy
Is staring at the screen in my mind
Watching life whisper in my ears

Veins pop out like a loud mouth
I dream of two dozen men
Walking a tightrope toward me
And I only find that none of them
Have made it, they only fell
Down to another who loves them so
And just like that, Iā€™m walking it too
