the only thing you have ever been able to find

Its not that I think your funny,

Its just that I think your dying.

You cant make me happy

Its just the victory that has me smiling,

Its not that I have some story of triumph,

Its just that I have to cling to this one.

Don’t mistake me for cold,

Just because you saw the flame burn out.



And when you are convincing me we had our good times,

I know you are wondering yourself.

When you say you loved me,

I know you just mean your searching for someone,

To love you.

And when you say I was your child

I see your parentless scars

And as I see them oozing

I forget to sympathize with you.

There is no blame my dear,

There just cannot be any warmth.

For some shell,

Who would have been a bitch,

Even if she did have substance.



And I see you going back and forth

Between Bob Dylan

And nigger rappers

I see you searching for something,

And I realize that this journey of yours

Is just to take you away from yourself,

The only thing you have ever been able to find.
