the radio won't
play the songs i request
at my very worst
or incognito
i travel alone
a string tuned in
and shaking

have you
lost your ears?
wished for fate?
close the trunks
of the cars
you've crashed
your head into
my pillow

for the last time

tell it to my soul
i've sold for soles
of shimmering shoes
that replace each sidewalk
with molten glass
every time i pass
i fall behind

here i am
for the first time
with a true smile
but false teeth
and i'll be stuck
as shaking strings
a dying savior
yet as i age
my blood tastes the same
