Loneliness

A flicker of a light in an empty home

Bickering at night and you end up cold

I wanna let the right brain retain control

The rhyme inspires most when it's 5 minutes old

There's a feeling that I get when it's sad and it's grey

Reminds me of times way back in the day

They wouldn't call me back

They didn't wanna play

I ask my stepmother if it ever goes away

So I'm sending you a message with text

That doesn't really say it's an SOS

Yes so I guess that I press those numbers

To summon for a presto

Looking for words (forwards) I spring into summer

And wonder if you would (wood) lay around like lumber

And supports me like a funder

Paying attention to my pain and tension

We all have forces pulling us under

But somewhere beneath this world torn asunder

We smell the storm before the thunder

And bring angles down to earth like sunder

And when it bursts, the loneliness feels like hunger

Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness?

I'm chewin' on its vapors

Hiding from the light

With this basement as my base

The opposite of a smiling face

To chase down whatever this taste is

I' a tweeter with a blown cone

Wonder where the bass is

Drawn to you on a path of penciled promises

Found my feet inside erasers

Praises to Rafael and St. Rita

Try to breathe and gasp

Try to seize and grasp

Don't even ask if you can counsel me

I'm a lone wold so I wear wolf wear wool

Cut connections with irreverence

I slither in and sever us

I wanna be the boy who lived

But never have no trust to give

I must admit through busted lips

I've sunken ships and rusted bridges

Cut slow to the quick

And lost myself to split decisions

Multiply by my divisions

Round down for the placement

Alone in that basement

Why don't you tell 'em about the loneliness?
