Cut out to be more...

Lately it seems
we all living an American dream
we can not fend for ourselves to save another day
stood too far back to gather what we want
stand about and stand close to the ones we adore
bruises and pain up and down all worth the works of the stage dancer
with voices and tools
we scream to the heights to realize not a lot is cared for
the small and the belittling we all encounter in the days of the show
taking tip to toe to the quiet whispers and listen
riot of the waiters and the those delivering
a woman in rags to hold the work down so she never has to suffer nor her children
but even the skyscrapers can not defend the showers of shards that send more than a hole in a skull
cross it out as an accident
like a cat we cover up the crap and glorify the things we succeed in
with each right and wrong we correct
we trick and treat those at the bottom of the west
from the canyon and the ground gravel
its the peppers we sniff and sky for
doesn't it just
doesn't it work out that way
weakness of your enemy became the weakness in your heart
they strengthened and you broke down to reveal you were never under the technique we all thought
undo it all
release it for the dreaded and the unwanted but to query the direction we gave you
believe it or forget it its all the same
but until I say something
it's all your own loss
"Of course" is the words we all say
practice we announce
how we do so is up to you is it we question
abilities surpass us in many ways to assure us that there is a limit to our own
so carry on with it all
and don't cover the cost with a life of your own
your is your life's connections
no life is a sacrifice worth landing on
