Oh, my talking bird
Though you know so few words
They’re on infinite repeat
Like your brain can’t keep up with your beak.
And you’re kept in an open cage
So you’re free to leave or stay.
Sometimes you get confused
Like there’s a hint I am trying to give you.

Will I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions
All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I’m resigned to stay the same
(more…)
With every sun that sets I am feeling more
Like a stranger on a foreign shore
With an eroding beach disappearing from underneath
And when my mirror speaks it never minces words
Because these eyes don’t shine half as bright
As they used to do and they haven’t for quite a while
(more…)
Pity, take pity on me.
‘Cause I’m not half the man that I should be.
Always turning to run,
from the people I should not be afraid of.
And darling, you should know
that I have fantasies about being alone.
It’s like love is a lesson,
that I can’t learn.
I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn.
(more…)
The Eiffel tower built to smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I’d ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against a safety rail, killing time
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
Oh, come on
