Retrospectfully
I don't have problems in my head
I spread them out clean between us instead
Coat the sides, morning rise, big surprise, smilin lies, feeling dies
Afternoon, all I had has left. Back so soon, thought you were bereft
I guess you are, who am I to say. Thoughtless words burst or float away
Think I can just use this all for later
I ask you who's your favorite dictator
Secrets hide, right outside, lousy break, give and take, vacillate
Here I am, empty husk of a man
Lying here to rot
I can't say what is or what is not
Can we talk again
