It’s no good
It’s no good for me
It’s my seventh night alone this week
And imagine all the weeks ahead
I traipse an edge that’s the breadth of a hair
Lights flicker in my eyes, my impermanence bared
I’ll risk my life just to sleep through the night
And it happens all the time
My empty room is a thundering earthquake,
foaming at the head, a vast hole in the ground
What I would do
for the taste of food
and the sound of all-happy walking-around
For the walls to ring with happy sounds
I pine for love when my guidance is blurred
Belie my name, forsake what I serve
Imbibe to deny my discordance of mind
And appeal to all who’ll comply
Come behold my crumbling wishlist
Trying is useless
I’ll always be alone
Because falling in love’s like running
with my hands tied from behind
All my wrongs would alarm and appall
My errors resound like ghosts in the walls
Trust devolved from the life I’ve designed
And lies have adorned my pride
Can’t we go on like it’ll all be OK?
(is a man just afraid to admit his mistakes?)
But I’ve never loved anyone like you before
(lies are born, another lie is born)
I reach out when I’m in need
(lies are born, another lie is born)
And I don’t live my life in fear
(lies are born, another lie is born)
I work hard and I’ve been good
Lies are born, another lie is born
And I’ve never loved like I love you
Lies are born, lies are born
Truth walks in just bursting with witness
So, it seems my word’s no good
Stories pour in like a shower of vengeance
Despite my repentance, I’ve lost all regard
My empty room is a bastion of heartache
My glowering end, my looming descent
And I’ll always be alone
Lost in the throes of my unending errors
I’ll traipse the edge for a moment of rest
And it happens all the time
I’ll always be alone
I deserve this condition
That much is known, that much is known
