never doing enough // not doing anything


For a moment, nothing is burning    
and it's making me restless -    
I default to sad expressions or mad expressions,    
In reality i'm searching for floaters -    
birds or planes or coffee    
whatever words filter through the smoke are a competition    
for the most, or the best    
an engine burns old oil and it's the only thing that makes sense    
the others sit in peace knowing what's coming    

the city screams and everybody hears but    
no one says anything    

Never doing enough // not doing anything    
Everyone has dogs 'cuz in this city    
love is unbelievable.    
the plane is gone and its trail is pretty    
(the flowers will die, too)    

(I don't know how to leave without running away)    

I scratch your back and you kiss, but don't bite    
the city screams and I scream and I scream and I scream.
