Be Here I Am (Part II)

   Cabernet, dirty glass
   To walk on by is still a pass
   Our meeting’s been brief but we can still relate
   Open mouth, rubber stamp
   Feel your way by the light of a lava lamp
   My arrows may not be true but they’re always straight
   Drive is for people lacking authentication
   I am your lover
   I am your lover

   Right is left, left is right
   The middle ground is too polite
   The voice of the masses drowning out in cheers
   Countersink, counter weight
   If you breathe you hesitate
   One thing is certain—you’ll never know my fears
   Space is for people longing for admiration
   I am your leader
   I am your leader

   Joy and pain, waste of time
   To show my scars would be a crime
   The unkindest cut is the one I give myself
   Ash to ash, dust to rust
   I cannot break though I know I must
   To the human touch I bid a fond farewell
   Love is for people without imagination
   I am your leper
   I am your leper
