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
