raze
i
saw
the
lyrics
on
the
music
stand
.
inked
in
my
own
hand
.
i
needed
to
know
if
i
could
still
orient
myself
in
the
maze
of
someone
else's fractured
melodies
.
so
i
unhooked
my
fists
and
sat
on
a
stool
that's
almost
forgotten
what
my
body
feels
like
.
it
took
those
meat
hooks
some
time
to
remember
what
they
were
made
for
,
but
the
chord
changes
came
back
to
me
.
like
a
small
film
you
sleep
through
and
forget
all
about
until
an
unrelated
thought
unlocks
the
strongbox halfway
through
another
dirty
day
.
i
can
sing
just
like
him
when
i
want
to
,
you
know
.
i
can
slip
into
the
clothes
of
a
dead
man
without
missing
a
beat
.
i
can
be
anyone
you
want
me
to
be
,
at
least
until
the
costume
frays
and
falls
apart
.
this
boy
is
cracking
up
.
this
boy
is
breaking
down
.
