i should have known something
something or anything
anything at all
instead i was fucking oblivious
trapped in and under
your wiley ways
then lost inside myself
for endless cold days
i rounded up lost thoughts
and seized upon my strays
and set the dead weight
inside alight in a fiery blaze
yes i guess i had to confess
i was not in the loop
so to speak
i was completely fucking oblivious
i’m not proud of the things
to which i succumb
i’m organically smart
emotionally dumb
doesn’t help a jot
if it’s dead mute or numb
everything is not possible
and immunity from the sun
then became when again
was i was so far behind
that i was in front
no…i was fucking oblivious
what did i hope to
or think i’d find
the things i saw
should’ve made me blind
the things i found
i hoped to never ever have to find
they took apart shook apart
they blew my mind
