Come on, drive
Too far away
Take line drive
Too far away
One last night
Too far away
Won't you try?
Too far away
War life tried
To stay
I'm away
Tried knife high
All day
Too vague
Too vague

On the phone
On your phone
Sitting home
All alone
Carved from stone
Calculating the costs
To roam
You cry like a baby
When they don’t get at you
You cry like a baby
When they get at you, too
Hanging home
On the phone
Sitting home
All alone
Where to roam
Now that traveling
Window’s closed
Carved from stone
Ankle deep in the
Côtes du Rhône
Still at home
On your phone
Staring on
All alone
You cry like a baby
When they don’t get at you
You cry like a baby
When they get at you, too

Balance Zero

Born nineteen
Never had a chance to breathe
Never knew anything that wasn’t told to me
Something stirs
Inside me
Balance Zero
On the psyche
It holds me
And scolds me
and wishes I was better
wishes I was better
Why can’t I be better
Why can’t I be better
Why can’t I be better
Or allowed to roam
feeling soul
all else have
but instead
It’s me
and this other me
Locked inside a flat
With dark, high, legs
Too wet to climb
I spend my time
Down, I lost
Photos of her body
Taking things personally
And always the wrong way
Always the wrong way
Always the wrong day
Always the wrong say
Always the wrong way

writing a lot
about the truth and what's inside
and you're nervous to die
and you're afraid to go outside
walking to my
about a block at a time
and you'll work late at night
and you're afraid to go outside
I never knew
you always seemed OK
I thank you totally
for the time of day
black and the white
like a sterno on its side
like a fighter in flight
you're afraid to work inside
talking all night
about the wrongs we all right
it's a quarter to five
and you're afraid to come inside
I never knew
you always seemed OK
I thank you totally
for the time of day
