Tears In The Sand

Walking alone
On the railroad tracks
A flash of colour
Among the black
Truthfully I'm great
Honestly I'm dying
Your secret to success?
Cheating and lying
Trying to stand out
Forgot in the crowd
Get my thoughts together
Say them out loud
The words I write down
Slip from the page
Comically correcting
Replacing the rage
You say you're different?
So does everyone else
Watching as death
Folds back onto itself
This one chance
Determining your fate
You try your best
But you're still second rate
Salt on ice cubes
Like tears in the sand
My turn to come first
My turn to demand
In the end it's
All evening out
It's your flood of tears
That's ending this drought*
