Seeing It This Way
Chris Conley
I never thought I could watch someone come apart from the insidesto outsides
but every day I see strings fall loose
and every day I see hope lost-
with all this complicated I can't even get pass the thought ofthinking
and wondering whether help or understanding rings truer
and I don't know how to do anything anymore for you
but I know that you should stop this world spinning right thisminute
and take a look from higher up
and then you could realize just how broken your aim really is
so why don't you ask yourself to show up sometimes?
why don't you stand up tall and kick yourself in the mouth
to remember and to get that burn back
and scorch your stomach and bleed that passion lost
and don't forget what picked you up and don't forget to thinkthis time.
