In the hall of fame, one’s not one’s own
De minimis
Give away the right to tame the untame syndicate
Tie up the split seams
Pull the self-possessed threads gone so wrong
You stuck your claim
and it was treason drawn out, and us strung along
Struggle: trying to be
not he
Making progress in the way we speak
Plotting holes in virtues we hold strong and unbeknownst to thee
Never hurt the way we make our rounds
Jumping hurdles so we can love ourselves
It figures we’re so sad
and heedless and blown up, but folding inward
This in some facade that leaves nothing but apathy
Pack your bags and just go
Pack your bags and go far away
So it’s not what you wanted
but you got it
Is that something worth thanking for?
Did I make this hard for you?
Am I being a fucked-off fool?
If I am, it’s for you
and I don’t think I’ll ever take a loan to live
so again, I lose my way
