timeout
3,542,400 seconds
approximately
since the hallowed halls of learning
were closed
to through traffic
no outsiders allowed
and the ghosts and dust motes
were alone
drifting
in blessed solitude
free
of the rambunctiousness of youth

dear mirror myself you owe me i paid my dues in blood where’s my change? you showed me things...
it’s a sin and a shame how you mistreated me trampled on my innocence buried my hopes and dreams...
ancestors can’t you hear them crying out for release and shouting out for peace and justice and lingering wandering...
shoot the messenger hate to tell you that your time’s been awasted hate to give you the news you...
on the playground that click that you hearis not the sound ofplastic on marbleis not the sound ofmetal on...
untitled 19 far and away from heremy soul flies so freelywho would have thoughtthat the shell i was living...
danger hands up laid down car stalled traffic stop cigarette in my hand leather wallet in my pants piece...
it’ll be fun they said so come on down and play join us on this mission to the masses...
