Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Write To This (MV)

I’ve Strayed/When You Tire

Don’t know what normal is
         in your world
duplicated
tried
but it’s all a lie
         and you hate me
         for my charade
         wanting to belong
when we like the same song
         but I just go on

deep in the night

fighting for some right

I’m deep in this fog
         in a forest four counties long
further from you
so my voice is no good
though I sing to someone
         just like me
         each day, each night
why they fright to extend a hand
         I do not know
but if found, I’ll hold on
         make sure we’re never cold
or alone

maybe, I’ve strayed so far from you
because we walk
in opposite directions
beneath one moon, one sun,
         one song eternal —
that I wrote all the words wrong
         rearranged, so you’d know
there’s something about me
that you won’t see
         undiscovered
in every dawn you yawn
yet, we hum away
to that very same song

I’ve noticed
I’ve strayed from you
         accept what lonely is
         accept that forests and nights
guided by one moon
         I won’t fright
and when the sun comes
I’ll help someone else be strong
         help write the lyrics wrong

I’ve strayed from your normal
yet, between us
who’s the one that fears? when the dawn?
When you tire of that song?

51 lines, hardly epic

I might have written to a different song that invaded my head
long after this video died down.


Speak right into the clown’s head. Maybe, they‘ll get the order right.
Choke on dry chicken without Sprite but seltzer to wash down this life.

I’m pretty sure the song in my head was “I’m bad news”. Did I blog that yet?
