okay

I'm tougher than you think
I can do surprising things
I have fought the fiercest enemy
I have grabbed the golden ring
now I face a new risk
I don't know what to do with this
but I'll find a way
I'm tougher than you think
I'll be okay

prayer

Jesus, I need help
I'm shaking, trembling in fear
please take care of me

southeast streets

on/off of buses
walking on these southeast streets
one of many homes

looking for candy

there was a girl
down at the bar
one look I knew
she was gonna be a star
I said "say there miss
why are you in a joint like this"
and she said
"I'm looking or candy"

I don't remember my passwords

I am not good
at being me today
so I'm trying on costumes
I'm putting on masks
I'm changing my voice
I don't remember my passwords
and when I grow tired
I'll head home
and breathe freely 
like I used to

are we there yet 2

my body is the car
and my mind is the driver
sometimes I'm leaving
and sometimes I'm an arriver
my brain keeps saying
words I should forget
are we there yet

no matter what I do
no matter where I am
my mind keeps causing
its traffic jam
in words whose meaning
I disrespect
are we there yet

I don't care why and
I don't care how
just get me out of
the here and now
present tense
makes me upset
are we there yet

are we there yet

there's this voice
inside my head
been there since
I was a kid
a voice I never
will forget
saying over and over
are we there yet

I don't mean drive's
in the family car
I talking 'bout stuff
anywhere you are
the here and now
is anyone's bet
when you're always asking
are we there yet
