In lyrics I see road maps
street signs and flashing yellow lights,
follow routes to forgotten streets over the gps and lose myself
listening to the voice of someone I don't personally know.
In lyrics I see fingerprints
collecting just enough dust to hint at their existence,
watch waves sweep away delicate sand castles to prove they're not real
and taste the salt of the ocean with my eyes.
In lyrics I see billboards
for plays performed on stages too small for such big stories,
distracted by the cakes of makeup on faces distorted with timed emotion
but feeling regardless the meaning in their soliloquies.
