Radio Tunes

…Turn the keys

Sit for a while

Look in the mirrors

And try to smile…

The radio tunes out to static

And into my head fades the sound

Of rubber hitting the asphalt

Of a burdening life all around

I know that you’ll never understand

And that’s the reason I keep writing

A ghost of the truth still remains

But most of me is still lying

If they know not what they do

Then that’s the reason they continue

If they know exactly what they do

Then it’s a feeling long overdue

Stay right where you are

And I won’t stray from where I am

Please God just don’t disappear

And let me believe this isn’t a sham

Forgive me because I know you can

Forgive me because I don’t deserve it

Please just let me rest at ease

And let me forget all this bullshit

Please don’t go looking for answers

In the words I write in exhaust

The words you read won’t be mine

And the truth of my mind has been lost

The radio tunes into music

And into my head fades the sound

Of something we can’t comprehend

Of a loss we can feel all around

…Turn the keys

Sit for a while

Look at yourself

And try to smile…
