some people have never heard of you

cross the road to get to the other side
got a ticket for jaywalking
pay your fine
pay the man who promises to lead you down the aisle
roll the dice like they do in vegas and stay better betting for a while
sat on the sidelines
waiting for the game
are you the same person I once knew
or did the scene inject an infest of change?
flow through the veins of whatever you intend to be
the audience isn't listening to your speech
your childish chemical infatuation will shadow you in the lightest places
drowning loved ones faces
into a sad song that plays on the radio of your conscious.

afternoon delight, midnight flight,
rewind the time back to the morning after
wake up call and wake up to regain your sight.
'"I've met you before but can't recall your name."
"I've seen you before but can't remember your face."
a rhetorical line to suit you just fine
to go back, your life is on the emergency line.
all the dreams of youth flushed down the toilet never to be shared
abandon the trip on the high, people wont leave if they care.
Salesman knocking on doors, no one believes the lies your selling
dig amongst the trash, theres no telling
to what you'll find, even if its not what you need
a one way ticket back to yourself
