Emotions thinner than the tin
That my dinner came from
Ambitions gone like my mind
At the party after prom
Skin scratched and stained
A life time of regret
Worth the pain
Not wanting to get out of bed in the morning
Legs gone lame
But no ones mourning
No reason to find direction
Writing plain, without discretion
Caring little and less about forged perfection
Living on a disposable income
Hoping I find long term affection
Still waiting patiently on that one discovery
Anything to separate myself from me
My shins from my knees
There's a windy city chill
But there's no use blaming the pills
Hands left hanging
Like a bandanna
Dangling, waving
From the homeless man's head
Expression couldn't make me a dime
In todays market of drones
Still feeling fine
Without staring into my phone

But no ones mourning
No reason to find direction
Writing plain, without discretion
Caring little and less about forged perfection
Living on a disposable income
Hoping I find long term affection
Still waiting patiently on that one discovery
Anything to separate myself from me
My shins from my knees
There's a windy city chill
But there's no use blaming the pills
Hands left hanging

Dangling, waving
From the homeless man's head
Expression couldn't make me a dime
In todays market of drones
Still feeling fine
Without staring into my phone
