nonsense

wish I didnt have any feelings so I could hear you better
these sweaty palms
got them looking like springs the day i got hand tattoos
dripping
sweat-staining everything
the prints of fear
like a trail of paws left by the tiger
that sleeps behind your ears and whispers
"you're not gonna make it"
every
morning


but you know better, you can tell when they're in the zone
you got the best highs and you know it
and they know it
and everybody knows everybody
and everybody knows everything
you can almost see their faces waking up tomorrow, alarm clocks, cafeine,
avoid the mirror,
avoid the mirror,
car, manhole,
you wish youre super mario
you hope for the end of this level,
avoidance and sleeping pills
so you
