Suburban Muse

Abandoned Pools

Blue sky us holding down

There's no why

Only the sound of happy TV land

Cue the canned applause



Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China

Never get back

I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes



There used to be a reason why

We wrote the words across the sky

You and I will never die without a fight

My suburban muse



Green grass towering high

This white house, in it we'll die

A thousand tiny lies take the place of you

I've seen it too

In all the things you do

It lives inside of you

A parasite or two



I'm the king of ordinary things

They're killing me from inside out

I'll give it away



Between the cars on dusty streets

The cul de sac is where we meet

I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town

My suburban muse
