Intransit

I can't connect to this sacred object The bar was open but for me the bar was closing I like to suffer in a silent way I can't get through the days without a glaze 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 hit 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
