The Phoenix Born Again

Its just a vicious circle 
going in circles without any clues 
Its just a mad hatted mess 
looking to make no amends 
It's just a disregarded apathy 
if they suddenly look our way 
no hello how are you? 
how was your day? 

Its just a nauseas stab in the dark 
its just a thump to the head 
its just a bruise to the knee 
it's a scrape across my chest 
on St. Patrick's day 
It's just a concentrated mess 
wrapped in a bundle 
a mind trap of danger 
and mind numbing insanities 
you'll be asking whose who in a mystery 

It's just looking for that angel 
the one wearing that suit 
the one who shot me in the face 
and never made the news 
It's just where it fell apart again 
looking for assonance and reason 
to the logic of keys and education 
of gardens and statues
