safety in numbers

i burnt out at 19 and
you'll never know my genius
if i could've been who knows
what i would've been but
i was on to you

i'm real bored
of your billboards
and so i'm running away

you're
shooting at fish in a barrel
the barrel of your gun
it does wonders
safety in numbers
it's killing me

well i bottomed out at 21 and
you'll never know my lover
what we could've been if
she'd only seen but
i was on to her

i'm real bored
of your billboards
and so i'm running away

you're
shooting at fish in a barrel
the barrel of your gun
it does wonders
safety in numbers
it's killing me

Very interesting poem. I especially like how you use the barrel of the gun in that saying "shooting fish in a barrel."

A bit Matt Good-esque I would say.
picturize the nights and days you close the book and float away and somehow in between you gotta master lying to yourself you max your cards get out of school you get a job your job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else

Good stuff, good stuff, my type of poetry.
"If I found a hot woman to have sex with me, so can you!"

*^ The ashtray says, you were up all night
When you went to bed, with your darkest mind
Your pillow wept, and covered your eyes
And you finally slept, while the sun caught fire ^*


HARDCORE!

I was gonna say the same thing. Very nice indeed.

very matt good-esqu actually, i like it, that's how i write now too
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.
