Aside Lyrics

Measure me in metered lines,
in one decisive stare, the time it takes to get from
here to there. My ribs that show through t-shirts and
these shoes I got for free; I'm unconsoled,
I'm lonely. I am so much better than I used to be.
Terrified of telephones and shopping mall,
and knives, and drowning in the pools of over lives.
Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy,
in love with love, and lousy poetry.

Present tense. And I'm losing all these stupid games
that I swore I'd never play.
And it almost feels okay. Circumnavigate this body
of wonder and uncertainty.
Armed with every previous failure,
and amateur cartography, I breathe in deep before I
spread these maps out on my bedroom floor.
Leaving. Wave goodbye. Losing,
but I'll try, with the last ways left,
to remember. Sing my imperfect offering.
