DIE ALONE

DIE ALONE
?

“Love” commutes the distance like a spiraling arcade
Eyes compete for vision once the fare is paid
And patrons toss theirs souls like pennies in a well
They confuse forever with a ride on the carrel

Lovers pawn their wares like a hooker on the beat
Try and fill a hole with a portioning of meat
Try to break the wall with a thrusting of a rod
Try and stay in line with quick howdy to God
And then he takes your life

Don’t confuse yourself with what you do to survive
Don’t define yourself through someone else’s eyes
Sunday comes, you end up on your knees
So six other days you can do what you please

Lovers hit the streets, they want their lover predefined
Pretend every penny is a dollar that they find
But they can’t afford a ticket together, so it seems
They part and then they’re on their own
Die alone
