This Thing

How do I get out of this thing
How’d I get into it in the first place
This thing keeps ruining me
I don’t know where it came from
One day it was just there
And I couldn’t get rid of it
It’s the cause of my failures
And my successes too
It took me over
Accelerated me
to a place I
couldn’t stay
This thing eats me from the inside
This thing tears me up like I’m made of paper
Claws at me constantly
Manipulates my motives
into things
I’d never do
But I sure do them
I do them to you
There’s a cost
to doing things this way
A steep price
Which must be paid

Don’t you hate
when people try to help you
but all you want/is for
them to leave you alone
They can’t take the hint
And you don’t want to be obvious
But damn they need
to back up off you
and give you room to think
Or just pour yourself a drink
And sit in quiet contemplation
Don’t sit down next to me
Don’t offer advice
Step on by so I don’t have to be rude
Now is not the time to ask me how I’m doing
The look on my face should tell you
I’m pretty fucking far from ok
And when you start talking to me
Telling me about your day
And I don’t say a word
And continue looking past you
Not at you
Take that clue
and deduce
That right now
I got no time for you
Understand
This isn’t how I always am
Something must have happened
To befoul my usually sparkling mood
But if I’m short with you
Take no offense
And please don’t cop an attitude
I’m one of those folks you leave alone
When they’re not smiling
Don’t sit down next to me
Don’t offer any advice
Step on by so I don’t have to be rude
Now is not the time to ask me how I’m doing
The look on my face should tell you
I’m pretty fucking far from ok

Your whole facade
Just a pile of lies
You’ll let them stare at you
Long enough to melt their eyes
You won’t save face
Even when we’re all really high
We won’t even hear you
When you whisper goodbye
You aren’t really you
Are you
Are you ever you
I mean the you
we all thought you were
Are you a figment of a part
Of a micro dream
It’s clear you are far from
Everything you ever seemed
These are the only pieces
Of you left after you broke
I put them back together
After you spoke to me
for the last time
You thought you were beyond those
Who know who you really are
Just another small timer
hooking up in bars
You give poverty such a bad name
When you claim it to avoid your debts
And no one on this side of the line
Would ever let themselves forget
You left a trail of evidence
Wagging behind you like a tail
A crisis of confidence
And now we have the room to fail
Don’t feel safe
You never get to feel safe
Rusting red blood stains
From pools large enough to swim in
Bloody footprints lead away from them
still moist from being
recently trodden through
I haven’t forgotten
what i heard said by you
We’d all be dead soon
The joke is: it’s probably true

We Know You

You miss
everything that changes
With your head
always in the sand
What modern life has become
And what it demands of you
We know you
We know everything you do
How long it takes
And
what it makes out of you
This isn’t what you
thought it would be
No Not at all
See…we know you
We know you
so well
You can’t cover all your scars
You’ll have to explain them all
You can’t hide all your skeletons
You have to name them all
No matter how strange
it makes you feel
All —that you’ve done
All —that you’ll do
We know what it is
Because we know you
There are no more secrets
No more excuses
You are what you are
Nothing obscures it
See? We know you
We’ve known you
all this time
We’ve watched you
your whole life
You can’t hide
anything you do
Why? Because
we know you
You think you can be
What you want to be
We know exactly what you are
And how depraved you’ve been
You think you can be
What you want to be
This isn’t what you
thought it would be
No Not at all
See…we know you
We know you
so well
All —that you’ve done
All —that you’ll do
We know what it is
Because we know you
There are no more secrets
No more excuses
You are what you are
Nothing obscures this…
