Someone Again

Eating soup eating soup
Nothing left broken teeth
Underneath nothing left
Still we cover up the crime
In the clink of our endgame
Inside the body arrived
Black web of deception
What is easy, what is hard?
One step at a time
Ringside we decide
One step at a time
Maybe the Bahamas
Maybe Greece
Or Copenhagen
Old old young
Someone again
Wake up one day
Old old young
Light eyes dark eyes
Circles and lies
Friendship cries
I remember you
Invincible
People try to warn you
A little bit short
On the remaining balance
A trip to Mexico go, go
Cheaper there
Go because we’re not
Getting any younger
Go because you want
To live fifty years longer
Be someone again
Go because you’re
Gonna wanna kiss
Someone again

Bullseye

It’s easy to talk big
But I can jump in
Really hard and mean it
The important thing is
Not whether you can
Believe me but
If you can remember
Anything can happen
The great peel of excitement
Is always slipping off
The edge of my tongue
And often times
I end up
On the floor somewhere
But how do I get there?
Trust and honesty
Being trustworthy
Of anticipatorily redeeming the qualities
It doesn’t matter anyway
The dirt comes off the heel
In the same way
Every time
With a rinse and a scrub
I won’t shut down for
Any lack of what was hoped
But what was hope
What is hope?
Sometimes like smoking
The dope of someone’s lie
Their inability to try
Or just a handsome cup
Of almost
Barely there, I…
Barely enough, I…
Why commit to anything
If you can be free to commit
To nothing everywhere
I want to meet someone
Who gives a shit

Someone Else

When in Rome
Do you resent
The way I smile
Overgeneralizing
Emotional reasoning
Cognitively distorted
It may not be true
Contorted views
But it feels real
When I’m with you
When you want it
The way I sing
Grabbing away at life
Never repealing
Would you
For fame
Throw me under a train
So you can have it all
Without me
Certainly if you resent me
How could you present me
To others
To the world
Too much art
Overspread
Too much good to bear
But not for
Someone else
