Man In My Head
 
“There’s a man in my head, but he isn’t me anymore...”
 
Feelings are fleeting
can lie like the truth
People want comfort
or abuse for proof
The angle worthy
is something new
 
I have walked upon you,
and among, willing fool
Victim or liar --
no better, but through
Walk away quiet
there is nothing to lose
 
(chorus)
Sonnets like sickness
inspiration cruel
Courage is precious
anger is fuel
 
Romance is waiting
dull gesture and cue
promiseless passions
impotent noose
calculated walls
we cannot undo
intimate voids
clutching and crude
obscene genuflections
lifeless fuck-you
 
(chorus)
Nowhere is purpose
shadows turn loose
Deciding we’re done is
our first moment true
