Subwayfarer

(Ian Edwards)


Certain lives
the which I'd like
to distinguish from
certain times
the which I'd like
to extinguish like fire
the lives I led retire
I feel as if a security cam
is watching my every move
but I'm used to it all
PATTERNS start today
an unimpressive phrase
spoken to people
the same as... all over again
I touched their shoulders
and they felt cold
never suspecting the cold
I know deep down inside
no one is noticing
They see my bad hairdo
I've got nothing
left to lose
I've got nothing
left to use
