stand up on my own two feet again
i've been walking on yours for so long
the legs have crumbled like those roman pillars
failing the pantheon
got a base to construct a day
got a night that i've thrown to the dogs
and i am laughing, you are laughing
it's a happy machiene, and we're both cogs
A brilliant flash of light is all we see
remind us of our own celebrity
but do we break apart from the modern trend?
no- you just break my heart and i'm left to bend;

after the math
and all your computations
the scent of a cent
propells these deviations;
and you or i, we cant dream
we get lost in our own overthrow
What we are today will be who we are;
but not what we are tomorrow.

And where do i stand up in you-
a sordid, corporate love affair
what is love- a brutal lie-
well, to god it is for all i care.

you and i, so codependant
this independant tag is like
water to wine-
nobody gives a fuck about the
other way around.
