never seen wings
when they turn their backs
never saw a knife in yours
so why'd you have to act like that?

stood by your side
a likely target
when your whiplash charm
put stars in your eyes

should have known
this town would never let me leave
the border patrol
keeps the memories in the photographs

a static touch of the past
maze of the minotaur in a fingerprint
prick your finger and paint
life upon the wordless lips
okay. broke some dam inside. i'll clean them up. cause i'm clean. as much as any american can be anyway.
