Apple Juice Blues

By Matt Freire

Bleed away
But my food still taste good
I shouldn’t feel bad
But my wounds says I should
Numb sometimes
It’s all in a day’s work
Needles and pins
It’s part of life’s perk
Stand crawl
Sometimes I need to move
Eat sleep
Band-Aids cover the wounds

If you fall alone in a world will anyone hear
Would you even hear if you fell on your ear
Does anyone notice your pent up fear
When you’re alone do you call your self-dear
When you look at yourself are you looking in a mirror
While you’re looking at yourself do you call yourself dear
As you talk to your self do you build up fears
Does it leave your mouth does it flow to your ear
Why do you talk out loud if no one will hear

There’s no stopping me when I’m spitting these hypotheses
Are you watching me
You can wipe a Polaroid but you can’t capture me
