Revelation I see you when I stop looking at the lines and stare at your words and it all becomes so clear So simple Your capitalizing on your beliefs Mixing drinks with numbers and games I am not here for you to…shame Are you disappointed in me? Would I care if you were? My questions are all rhetorical now I’ve never been one to let someone else do all the work So here I am Placing my hands onto the screen, pointing out this letter and that Knowing exactly what’s being said but I still like to feel it out Hard cold letters between my fingertips Its nice to still feel something after all these minutes Only minutes Of sleeping midair You’ve awoken me with your concrete conclusion Rammed into me like a red blazer on a really really bad fucking day Stop looking for definitions to something that shouldn’t be defined You’ll lose your license to be surprised You never know what might come next So quit expecting, rejecting Before you’ve even learned the rules of the game This isn’t solitaire my dear Its for all of two Too much To hide so scrutinize the mistakes because that is the only way you’ll ever find me the gunshot has been fired its repercussions ringing in my ears the bullet is still hanging The only question is Are you shooting? Or are you running? |
