Waking Up the Dead Man

bake your mind

into the shape of freedom

hung over hatred

slurr out that you're done

hose down

before going to town

i witness this

while chowing on trix

with a loose wrist

i paint your potential smile

as you walk another mile

missed the boat again

settle- count to ten

i'll let you know when...

you can breath

knocking on your eardrum

waiting for a reaction

just to see if you're numb

mold you some traction

angry sex

feel better now?

fight headlocks

angry curve eyebrow

she's used up on your bed

pat her tiny head

back to your 8-5

but you feel so dead

more exposed than ever

get me out of here

as you break another mirror

three past midnight

in another fist fight

you're not afraid of your blood

quick

cut lip

don't trip

i would avert your eyes

to sunset skys

sweet apple pies

as each day dies

you could still be alive...
