Attorney

I trapped my voice inside my head

and retained every word I muttered today

my choice to forfeit wasn’t simple

I’m just afraid that I am going insane

my mind’s a panorama housing the wartorn

a morbid thought is more than welcome to stay

and if my heart hung its cardiovascular hat

and I slept until forever well then that would be great

that would be great

I knocked on doors up and down the street

and asked the kids if they could come out to play

‘put your faith in me’ I insisted

‘I guarantee that I won’t lead you astray’

let’s make a family of destroyers

and build a house from all the bones that we take

I dread tomorrow and there’s nothing you can do

and if I died right now, well yeah that’d be great

that would be great

great

that would be great
