Personal Best - Small Black

Though we like to pretend

The dance is choreographed

There looms the pattern

More random every day

Seen through a pane of glass

But clearly magnified

We sit and focus

And hone in on the worst

Yet I

Don’t see us running out of time

But its true

We should’ve learned enough to

Chalk it up as a loss

Our day is coming quick

We put it off of course

In a line of thinking

We had doubted from the start

The only cost of which would be

Our bullshit time

Still see us lying in the dark

Fixing, just staring at the void

Making a list

Setting demands

Reminds me why

I might have cared

She said

Come take your birds and fly

Go find the afterlife

Go out and focus

Hone in on the void

I see you running out of time

I see you running out of time

Just see you and me

Just see you

Running

Just see you and me

Just see you

Running out of time

Just see you and me

Just see you

Lying in the dark

Lying in the dark
