'sweep over me with a broom, '
you whisper so softly.
'Gather me up and pour me
into a bag you leave in the foyer.'
...
I took your hand in mine
but you yanked it away and pointed to the stars
They're so distant, but they shine like headlights
Bright enough to see, but not close enough to reach
...
It's repeating
like the lines on the highway
over and over again
I have the images down to a science
...
I saw a boy in the clouds
He smiled down aon me,
he showed his teeth and stuck out his tounge
and threw out a dash of irony
...
It was a declaration,
a non-hesitating speech
winding circles and circles around careless people
But the words only wanted you
...
I stood waiting for you in the rear parking lot
Turns out you drove off without me
And I hear your picked up a passenger on your way
to keep your mind from drifting
...
Let's untangle our wires
Roll them up and put them into individual piles
There's no need for any crossing
I never wanted to be intertwined
...
Stand up tall and fight on your own
You're not one to need a platoon behind you
But you've been spoiled by having such great
mean by your side whenever needed,
...
My generation lives in mirrors
We base our morals upon good features and fabulous hair
Bending over backwards for paper think bodies
and rock hard abs-
...
Like a retainer I'll wear this
to straighten my teeth into a smile
Though it can only come by the
strike of the clock- it will come
...
