Testo Courage

The yellow paint has faded from the middle of this road.
like it meant something once, but long ago.
the cracks through pavement give way to the weeds.
that reach for their needs, through anything.

courage
leaving forever.
armed with a feather. hold it together.

courage
trying to remember
times that were better.
hold it together.

the neon letters on the resturaunt sign
seemed faded with age, but still cut through the night.
a pickup kills the humid air, sighing a breeze
as it races to leave, for somewhere without me.

they taught us games they wont let us play.
and left us with nothing but instincts to tame.
and we're all so bitter now; out in the dark with a key and a car.

leave us for granted and take us alone.
seperate and shattered, just pieces of wholes.
and we're all so bitter now;
out in the dark with a key and a car.
always
