Your Voice

Your voice  reminds me why going deaf aint so bad.
And why the old men down at the park
slowley go mad.

It's filled with  regret over what what never will be.
That house in the hills.   
The fancy cars the side little pets and poolboys.

Fake plastic faces  to match the the fake personality's
So now your voice fills with anger  and a touch of 
failure.

I here the rejection even in my sleep.
It stabs me in my spine.
Doing that which your own hatred does for you.

You look to me as a inmate and as paycheck
Were cellmates not lovers we torture
for weve forgot to love.

Your voice echos 
to my grave.
saying you could at least taken out the trash befor you kicked the bucket
you lazy bum.
