NOFLOW
 
 

And in spite of it all i'm still so tired
And fired up at all the insanity
Of the strange moods i seldom
                                        Understand

I blink my eyes in such wonder
I blink my eyes in such horror
And i wonder when it will all
                                         End.

My hands are scarred from work
My back it's always sore and hurt
My eyes light green and bloodshot
                                        its so hot.

I raise my dusty mouth to sky
And cry for rain to touch my face
But never here, in this sad place.

so hot tears stream into mouth
                                       with haste.

I blare my music oh so loud
I stare into the unknown crowd
Of popular birds bearing chests
                                       colorful crests.
                                       of pride.

I wander slowly down dull streets
Meet the people i never meet.
Say hello without a word
A silent crow to the colorful birds.

They grab their mates with lust
They show their colors with bust
They are the same and no shame
sometimes i wish i was real.
                                        living to feel.

But here i sit invited out
To crow a bit and find a route
but all i want is not the glitter
and all i want is oh so bitter.

a taste
a waste
lingering in the back of my throat
                                      i think
                                      it's my soul.
                                              but i just don't know
                                              and i just can't flow
                                              anymore.
