Reconstitution
This morning felt
like frozen hell
lying next to the place
your body used to fill.
And now Im
speaking softly to the air.
No replies. Theres noone there.
I reach my arm across the bed
to find her only...
to find her only in my head.
I apologize
that the smoke
gets in your eyes.
Leaving you breathless,
i won't let you finish a sentence
then I...
I realized,
taht the smoke has clouded mine.
And i cant see clearly through
this young
and scattered mind.
I let you down
when i swore I'd be
the ground to catch you
when you fell from
the highest cloud.
But i cant just live
in what has been
because my mind
is wearing thin.
So, I gather up my sins
and catch a ride
to the Settle Inn.
Stripped now
of my vest i stand
opened arms and bare chested
begging for the bullets
i deserve them
i was so foolish.
I did not build
this monument
to come crashing down
on my front steps.
but now its here
i have nothing to fear
besides this heart inside my chest
and it SCREAMS.
At least we know
we wont die alone
as the bodies pile up
waiting to be taking home...
So, I slide up to the bar.
Take a hit from my cigar.
No more wondering where I am.
No more wondering where you are.
like frozen hell
lying next to the place
your body used to fill.
And now Im
speaking softly to the air.
No replies. Theres noone there.
I reach my arm across the bed
to find her only...
to find her only in my head.
I apologize
that the smoke
gets in your eyes.
Leaving you breathless,
i won't let you finish a sentence
then I...
I realized,
taht the smoke has clouded mine.
And i cant see clearly through

No more wondering where I am.
No more wondering where you are.
