As Old As You Feel

Waking every morning

To play at make believe

Putting on my big boy clothes

Suppress the scream that’s inside me


Everything seems the same

Routine Assimilation

Hiding behind the wind

A shield from your elation


Pound down the sun

Drowning in delirium

Find the hole and cut it wide

Broken down no place to die


I know, kind of dramatic right. I'm missing a lot of sleep today, and really I think the last two stanzas are mostly contrived. But that first stanza, that was magic!

I'm gonna make lots of money soon so that I can hire you to ride a scooter around town for the helluvit - no big boy clothes required. :D
