Remnants
I think of wells The faces at the bottom that are singed in the subway pavement If you take away the walls, The faces still scale them, but get mixed up in water rushing toward the tide The waves leave periodically, but faces get materialized in footsteps And souvenirs to the unaware Bottles of sand…

Conflicted
I watch the jubilation Of the millions, of the nation And awe struck how one man could bring back our belief, as a whole On some catch phrases that we should have learned a real long time ago And I wonder How will they feel when his appeal doesn’t stretch past the inauguration? And we…

On Empty
Take a look at my vitality Using words to mask an illusion that has fathered me and left Bastard credentials Could define me, but I only try to show the best Of a character that never was me Never will be One that you were never even supposed to see But I use it as…

Forgive Me
For being everything you needed and then checking out How could you know if I didn’t what I was about? For being the thickest of contradictions Life description only changed in intonation For dying on the inside, but sailing on the out But hearing only my heart when it asked to migrate south Or whatever…

Diluted Heart
