do i have dead eyes
to puddled rain or to cars blown by
recounting all the times i've tried
out-staring the mirror
trying to make them move
no yeah i'm listening to you
can't you tell don't I look amused
like i don't even try
it is easy you can be me
as you see me you can be me
it is easy
if you try
it is a shotgun blast
an awakening cold water splash
when i try to forget my past
i can see it in your eyes
you see my phantom limb
stretch from my back in all directions
it is pulling through thick and thin
you see clouded visions wide
it is easy you can be me
why'm I screaming you can be me
it is easy
if you try
now i'm recalling tantrums on a college visit
people fleeing from their prisons
everything has been forgiven everything
it is pathos blaring through the stereo
it is letting people down
everything has been forgiven when a friend makes me feel found when i am low
when i am low
i run from all my words
fall into a thicker herd
where all the people lift their skirts
and i don't have to try
it is a shotgun blast
an awakening cold water splash
i try to forget my past
it runs out fast and wide
