Today she flirts anew
Chapters rehearsed in private
You prayed for the truth
Were you ready or not
This ride lets out soon
Unless it jumps the tracks
God help me
For what I may do next
Will define me
Or damn me

Going old awaiting orders from above
Slumped over a wreck of truths
You get what you pay for, they say
When will our debts be settled
Pretty faces bred for transgression
Playing a game since birth
Numb from the betrayals
Let me go
Xmas trees as corpses on the tops of cars
Having children is the most wasteful pollution on the planet

Today the winds have changed
Comfort is their discomfort
Paved emotions ready for trampling
A cycle of reluctance
outthink the silence?
I think not.

You'll never understand
A profound genius
That's what they say
And they were right
Those progressions you chose
Pull me in every time
But why did you go and do
What you felt you needed to
For what you've taught me
Is to admire from afar
But keep my distance
To know you through and through
Is to say goodbye
Who of us is ready for that
Only you
A profound genius
That's what they say
And they were right

Standard issue asshole
Winning on your imaginary scoreboard
Who needs nice when you're always right
Sweet nothings from a kindred spirit
Ignored for another quip and retort
Live your life on unreturned insults
Your volume knob broken since birth
An open invitation to your party
Quote scripture like you wrote it
Plague the gym like you own it
Pulled one over on the world
Another standard issue asshole

I am so tired of it all
There are no horizons left to see
Only the wind will remember my name
Tried and failed, a fat kid after all
I never let them win
I never let them in
And ah the question they'll ask
Who is to blame
Mostly her and mostly me
And mostly this world I no longer wish to see
I am worth less than nothing
Given to thoughts greater than deserved
Only my child keeps me alive
And every day she dies a little
Every day she turns into her
Another woman who will abuse me
Free me, for I cannot free myself
She is only biding her time
And so am I
A bundle of promises and potential
I'll never live up to it
And you know what
No one cares :(

you were there at the beginning of it all
watching and waiting and hoping for the best
weighing and measuring
you were there for the first cautious steps
walking alongside and hoping for the best
counseling and mending
you were there for the ceremony
insisting on togetherness and hoping for the best
caressing and enticing
you were there for the full circle
demanding nothing, providing everything and hoping for the best
perfecting and coping
you were there for the end
knowing the worst and hoping for the best
accepting and reconciling
goodbye old friend
it's time to step away from the mirror

cornered, the prey works on instinct
but the moment of truth never arrives
a pauper and pawn for the amusement of friends
with benefits going to the charity of their choosing
a game of sorts, for fools and thinkers
but a heart is at stake
each message sent and received with loving care
and careless love receives no message unsent
such an incredulous notion, this respect and trust
in a doubt-ridden fen of contrary evidence
a game of sport, for actors and actresses
but a heart is at stake
again we circle around the precipice
locked in stares that never meet
eye to eye in perpetual asides
wielding secrets like weapons
a game to court, for calls and messages
but a heart is at stake

"Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath, until he pleads my case and establishes my right. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness." Micah 7:8-9
