      <description>You may feel distant 
 Your thoughts don't seem to matter 
 Compared to the trash thrown around you 
 You constantly fight through 
 Your anxious shakes 
 To write a straight line 
 But the jagged . . .</description>

 You have caused the words 
 from my lips to cease 
 Leaving my mind 
 an echoing chamber 
 With the only thought 
 A memory of your kiss . . .</description>

 The rush of wind that pushes me along

 Cookie cutter houses 
 With swings and rocking chairs 
 On their front porches 
 Crickets sing their evening songs 
 As children march on home 
 The sheriff makes his way

      <description>Man sits alone 
 Stares at the wall 
 He wants to call her 
 But it won't 
 Satisfy 
 His lonely heart 
 Her words or voice 
 Can barely touch close enough 
 To the deepened hole 
 That encases 
 Him . . .</description>

 In vain my attempts are faithless 

 A heartless worm
