Sometimes: I get in motorcycle crashes and recluse into the woods
Sometimes: I can’t find the door, can’t see the floor
Sometimes: I spend hours just looking at my hands
Sometimes: maps seem more important

Sometimes: everyman falls
Sometimes: what would I do [if not for you]
Sometimes: I smile driving away from the job site, glad that our town is so full of lights
Sometimes: I come back over and over, reinventing the canon, trying to blast down these walls. trying to see the mirror high above.
