Slips and Tangles

Neon lights and slinking purple skies Squeeze out soft regret from all my lies And I greet another door that opens in To that place where I repeatedly begin I'm tangled up in “try” Slipping on “I wonder why” I face Affection, not embrace Another urban wasteland thick with fears Icy lights that shine like frozen television tears Oh dying embers of another day Please tell me what it is I want to say I'm tangled up in “try” Slipping on “I wonder why” I face Affection, not embrace Affectionate embrace
