Her I sit, just trying to write Applying to jobs like that’s my life’s plight To pave right ahead, don’t think till I’m dead Grows heavy feelings in fingers like lead What feels not genuine in things I’m sendin them? I try and be real yet I see I pretend again Again and again, deceits all I’m lendin them Breath nice and slow and try an begin again Again and again, nothings been mended friend Take what you’ve got and take what you’ve done Throw all that on paper, compressed into one Page One single page My resume What does it say of me? Dry tidbits of years and hours that came from me Once it was sang from me Once pulsed and rang from me Like torrents of heart, blood, and tears It all drained from me Left out in the sun, some dry shrinking things The future will come Let it bring what it brings

Dry tidbits of years and hours that came from me Once it was sang from me Once pulsed and rang from me Like torrents of heart, blood, and tears It all drained from me Left out in the sun, some dry shrinking things The future will come Let it bring what it brings
