May 14, 2013 – Cleveland, OH – Telekinesis, Deep Sea Diver

I've Seen It

After eleven and we're in a basement in Cleveland. 

You like the band and I still like you, so we are here.

Hearts and thoughts have been worn thin.

We are fraying and complacent.

We are derelict and sinking.

I ask the singer too many questions.

I ask things on your behalf.

And now I'm your idiot parent.

Cold silence on the walk to the car.

I ask for directions out of town.  I get nothing.

I ask for instant forgiveness.

But I should not want it.

I don't deserve it.

I continue fighting, but

I've seen it.

It's done.
