Same Voice
Frightened by the bulbs of fame
Snowboots under the closet door
Speculating what’s for hating
Hating what they guesstimate
Do you know - do you care
Do you know - were you there
Were you ever there
I restarted refreshed clean shave
Like I promised I’ll be brave
Show me colors your true face
If anyone ever hears the voice is the same
Calculated my own shame
Hiding by the bedroom door
Serenading in the starlight
Star’s light hid the shared and greyed scars
Did you know – did you care
Did you think I would be there
I was always there
On corpse’s coattails strung along
Wrong when right and unrighted wrongs
Garbling the verses of all unsung songs
If anyone ever hears the voice is the same
