DAY BY DAY I FEEL LESS HUMAN
DAY BY DAY THE HATRED GROWS INSIDE
your tears are only alibis
to prove you still feel, you only feel sorry for yourself
let’s sail away past the noise of the bay
let’s sail away past the birth and death of the day
let’s sail away to where the blues and greens swirl into gray
let’s sail away
let’s sail away past the cradle of these waves
let’s sail away past the tide and its slow decay
let’s sail away to where the water goes-some endless open space
let’s sail away
take only what you need, my love, and leave...
don't be so amazing
or i’ll miss you too much.
there is a middle-aged woman, she’s dragging her feet.
she carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat.
while the mexican children kick rocks into the street
and they laugh in a language i don’t understand.
but i love them.
why do i love them?
so the neighbourhood is dimming, i smoke on the porch
and watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars.
and on their faces just...
