lyrics

I was just another man, who was hangin’ by a thread
Waiting around till someone clipped the string that was holding me
together, in all kinds of weather you and me we whispered “never before have we seen a view so tranquil and charming”
I was on a winning streak, care-free for 2,000 weeks
but all the sudden those rain clouds started gathering
in front of me
The window of an Airbus
That Charlotte Sheraton
These words, they fall like rocks from a cliff
In a meter all their own, like muscle tone
I bronzed in making small talk
With the people at the top
Never picked up on that misdirection
‘til the misdirection stopped
But I’m feeling quite peculiar, mind not quite my own
Gonna sit down and write another
sophomore poem
