Creatures Of Habit

It's always that one time, the worse was so much bigger than the better

Idle minds wasted on running water that won't flow, just fall.

A peace of mind removed, we accept only the things we think we deserve

The two headed fighting ourselves for food

In the back of the minnows throats, searching for length

Chiggers, wretched things, phones that work one way,

Chiggers, wretched things, all front, no back,

Stay burning, stay crossed, stay straight, fight harder

I'm no saint, but please, if you know speak

Cant get out, only in

How can I teach?

I see his eyes afraid, keeping everything blind and dark

But somehow he can still watch me read

Forget the hits, remember the misses

Tongues held, time passing, keeping ears for the negative

I fell in love with a dimple but not the whole face

If we get better with age, why live now?

What if we could only think out loud
