i keep to myself
my lonesome self
can’t open my mouth without crying for help
i don’t say enough
i say too much
when it’s too late to speak
when confronted with questions
i lie through my teeth
and i don’t know why
i hate myself for doing so every time
i sing in a band
a one man band
abandoned my friends for production and yet
i don’t write enough
i write too much about things that
only make sense to me
while musicians are touring the country
with songs about things that matter like
politics, dead friends,
and all else above me
while i whine because i’m lonely.
