The Leaks that Stopped the Wannabes

We had a Roman cube devouring our souls

That wasn't really built to last the hour

And so it leaked, and ruined our shoes

Just before we started writing

We fled the scene with wire in tow

Escaping with what we thought mattered most

But they're hardly touched, hardly sing

And barely mean a thing to us

We speak soft and avoid the crunch

We deny that our lives have gone down hill

We'll squat for one year then wonder

If we've wasted each and every day

And after we've given up hope

We'll give up hope once more

And settle for an average way

Of halting the process of death.

Because life just gets sorrier.
