I don't have the answers
a better man would say that I'm too young/old.
I don't think myself much of a man these days...

An Honest Man (Sketch)

"please," when you tell me you can't keep the lie going strong;
"please," when you tell me you can't keep your smile in place;
"please," when you tell me I don't give you what you want
"please," when you tell me your heart's grown cold.

mine is the best definition, I'm fed up with finding the reasons
entropic perhaps, but I've made worse mistakes
as hard as it tries to placate me--antiquated, elated, it wastes me--
I guess it's a blessing and more of a curse.
I'm freezing my ego to please her; she's so much like Paris, I guess then
I'll soon be a widower, not that you care.
Enough with this scheming of justice: redundancy comes all too easy
I guess that it's better it's killing me now.
Dreaming of the time when all my problems were defined
in terms of evanescent meanings and the girls that made me scream
I once wanted to be so electric no one could ignore me;
instead I'm seated in this fucking car, hoping any thought will come
I knew you now, I mused for you
no one seemed to mark the day
enough with all the postures, my hands are sore
there's no one left to vilify but me.

reach behind the veil
and find the scars are worse for neglect, and i can see them regardless
In my youth, i'd think it a mirror, or a shell i deserved to break
the blood is up and flowing
and a boil exasperating as it disappears, i may be weak and sunless
but i'm far from the empty husk i was when i had no other choice
(my hands and feet have found purchase despite my mistakes; I'm looking around
at the here and the now, and I'm no longer desperate
for the first time ever, I'm moving up.)
the blood is up and rushing to the end I could predict
and I hope I'm wrong I'm carrying all my intentions
but I'm not so deluded as to think I can't see where they lead
(my hands and feet have found purchase despite my mistakes; I'm looking around
at the here and the now, and I'm no longer desperate
for the first time ever, I'm moving up.)
I crawled through it, taking the hands that were offered
I ran from the need that I didn't want to feel
I don't have it all isolated, but give me the time
and I'll solve the equation and open the door to tomorrow

I meant to tell you all of the times I was reaching from the bottom
I was only seeking, never wanting
and what humble beast is now staggering along the road
messiahs are only chosen after the first are cast from sight
small wonder I'll remain, I'll linger longer
I meant to tell you all of the times I would grind myself to molecules
I was hoping you would breathe them in
content to merely whimper, every bang reduced to echoes
I may be good for nothing, but every time you whisper I'll be there
small wonder I'll remain, I'll linger longer
while you do everything to escape my gravity
I'm collapsing into a star
