Poem

I lied to break the curse in two,
but the lie just didn't mask the truth,
I lied to get away from you,
but all I did was
fall
I lied to just make sense of you
Make every breath and shape of you
I lied to get into the zoo
But the lion broke my
jaw

I tried to save the world for you
Do everything I could for you
I tried to be an honest dude
But it still just scraped me
raw

So I fried my hand and foot for you
Through airwaves, trains, and dogs for you
Stole 15 thousand jewels for you
But the beggars took it
all

For you got beat up black and blue
For you split both my lungs in two
Lost all my soul in the black lagoon
Kept running till I tore my shoe in two
Still ran with both feet barefoot too
Saw stars, went dizzy, sang the blues
Fell in to a hole with jagged stew
Truck frieght and gas smell stained glass chew
Tattoo and parlor liquor brew

And this is what I saw:

I saw that what I really need
is just some air and a path to lead

I saw that all I really need
is just a frozen caramel seed

I saw that all I really need:

is you...
