why am i cynical
about these things these matters of the heart
Its gotten me nowhere
only this state i which i call alone
i shouldn't over-think
it hasn't got me results so far
why cant I
set up an experiment
and repeat it
over and over and over again
just to get a handle
a scientific grip on my own life
i go though this
over and over and over and over again
It's just typical
of me to not just put myself out there
hyper-reflection
is stunting tiring tearing me apart
why do i go through this
over and over and over and over again
[incoherent screaming]
well i wish i can just look up and say...
this I ask, my final wish
final cry of a heart anguished
let me fall, be blinded by,
let me fall, driven mad by
the elusive thing
called "love"

from man to man
stormin
out when it doesnt go your way
are you sure you know
what cha doin
i'm afraid if yr not
you'll develop a reputation
who knows you may have already
youre runnin out of options
i wanna know
what the hell you are
thinkin
as you make your moves without
blinkin
i dunno why I care
it's your life
it your short life
that your wastin
on these flights of lust hey
i don't care anymore

It was a slow burn
the bridge fire
i didn't fan the flames
or put them out
was standing there
watching you walk away
i wanted to catch after you
but the structural integrity
was harrowing
to afraid to cross
to afraid to back away myself
weigh myself
i sit here
look over the cliff
the fall down so frightening
i need to rebuild this passage
but i cant do it alone
i need to shout, shout over there
and hope for a response
if it doesn't come
what would i do
back to being by myself
has to accept things where they are
and realize it was me, my fault
emphasis on the was,
i am a new person nao
in declaration only,
but its a start
i should try,
if only to record
an attempt
to set things right
