one more step and you’ll be dead
she sits down beside the ledge, overcoat over her legs
she holds a candle to her chest
and she would light it, but the satellites would see
why can’t i please everyone
and why am i always bleeding all over everyone
it’s harder to breathe when you speak for me
i wish just once i could be right, she said, but not about the suicides
or aliens, or violent dreams
i wish you knew i knew the truth, but this shit comes out
so different than the news
why can’t i please everyone
and why am i always bleeding all over everyone
it’s harder to breathe when everyone speaks for me
well i’m not tryin to ease your mind, when you leave tonight
be careful who you’re talking to and why
and don’t be different don’t be strange, don’t even speak if you make waves
we don’t need new ideas
if they don’t please everyone
