I scare them all away Is it the way I look or what I say they’re going by the book that’s what they said eyes start to move searching the exit they’ll stay for dessert then make their break I scare them all away back to their little caves they bolt their doors and pray for a return to boring I get lonely like everyone else it’s more about disappointment than anything else that unquenched thirst for more of the same is something I’ve never been able to explain I stand at the center of the square peering into their faces they’re too busy with trends to really notice so I step on them knock down their buildings blow out the sun as they curse the weather it’s enough to make a monster just want to be by himself
