where's your courage now?

nobody knows where you are

you traded beads for your guitar

a totem, a power, a memory

remember me

[chorus]

so many alien people. i'll try to protect you.

how sad what we did. how lonely we were.

don't you know better? where's your courage now?

he lies and he lies and we buy and we buy

surrounded by ads

dehumanized masks

the world spins

round and round

but where do we go i don't know

[chorus]

for me

for me

i can't do it without you

for me

for me

i can't do it without you

poem

you're facing me

staring me

down long pathways of good

ground

don't move, don't flinch

don't cry don't add

breathing soft and deep

the same air

filling space with nothing

something is shared

i stopped writing poetry when i read too

much bad. it didn't get me what i wanted

idiots hiding in metaphors.

arbitrary mystery

come back to me

i do not want anything from you now

i'm safe
