Elucidating Questions

I think I’ve started to figure this out

No longer I rise to the call of the universe

It offers up problems

Probable anxieties

Fearful things

The possibility of financial demise

And I see it

And continue on my way

Don’t take the bait

Don’t panic

I think I’ve figured it out

I don’t feel the way I did

Funny how time doesn’t change anything

But me

The memories are still there

But they’re not locked away

They’re seen with eyes much older

They see your pain

They see

Barely keeping it together

Those people have sharp teeth

A human spirit is so different

In trauma

In freedom

I don’t resent you

I think we both know it wasn’t the best

But it was worth it to get where we are today

I miss you

But you’re safer by the fire

Away from all this

Chaos

I love you

I’d like to see you write a song for someone who isn’t a beautiful person

Could you do it?

I didn’t think it would be so quiet here in my thoughts

Thank god for drugs

Or, you know, who ever made them

God didn’t do that

See you can’t take credit for one thing without taking credit for all things

Either he… Ah, sorry,

Let me ponder that a while

Either you did or you did not.

Which is either complete control

Or none at all

Sorry we were talking about beautiful people

Well I was talking to someone about beautiful people

He doesn’t read it so it’s a secret

As if he could ever

Could you?

Could you write a song about an unbeautiful person?

No I don’t want to hear

All people are beautiful

They are not

Of course in this context I’m asking about people who feel unbeautiful

Could you write it?

He doesn’t read it

Could you?

How it feels to be alone

You throw up, you wipe it up

Lying in a state of sick

Wishing there was a kind hand

A cool wash cloth on your forehead

Something nice said

You’ll be alright

In the silence

When you’re alone

There’s no one to see how sick you feel

Only your sickness to keep you company

Trying to convince yourself it’s not as bad as you think it is

And once it’s gone it’s like it never happened

A blink in time

I wish I wasn’t alone

Hey

Do you feeling it in your skin?

Hey

Dragging secrets from within

Scrabbling and scribbling

Ripping in insanity

You taste it

Not quite taste it

It could be good

It could be great

Just one more taste

Just one more taste

Throw the fire and the money in

It comes from within

Crawling in your skin…

It’s not a pretty tale

To whisper into ears

The way it becomes the shape of you

But your shape is never the same

I feel like I’m gasping

For air

But it’s not air it’s

Social interaction

Can we be together?

So far apart

It doesn’t measure

The distance of our hearts

If far apart you be

Together you can hold

The threads of fate connecting

Red, silver, and gold
