I can't connect to this sacred object
 the bar was open but to me the bar was closing
 I like to suffer in a silent way
 I can't get through the days
 without aglaze across my face
 you're so smart
 and witty
 and funny
 and pretty
 and skinny
 but tonight I don't feel right
 I can't wait until I'm back in the city
 a lonely rage
 the hunger is the meanest cage
 a lonely rage
 the hunger is the meanest cage
 I felt like we were at a loss
 this is the cost of art
 the way you hate me with your grin
 and now I'm almost over it
 soon you'll set me free
 and raise a flag half mast
 I'm so stupid
 and speechless
 and burned out,
 sedated and faceless
 and sometimes it feels like
 I don't even exist in this place
 I'm momentum,
 in transit,
 alive in the rhythms of movement
 it's when I stop and start thinking
 that I realize all the people I'm missing
