dumb

made the same mistake i always do
i reached out and touched him too soon
after we met
for a second all the seconds stood still
until they caught up
and he left

i’m not smart
i do the same things over and over again
i’m not smart
i’m digging until i’m numb
i’m feeling

i’m getting angry with these hands
these fingers don’t dance cross the keys
like they used to
i still remember how it felt to paint sound
now i’m an artist
with no muse

i’m not smart
i do the same things over and over again
i’m not smart
i’m digging until i’m numb
i’m feeling

i don’t know what
i am doing
days keep passing
i’m not clued in
now i’m older
going nowhere
losing my skills
getting worse

i’m not smart
i do the same things over and over again
i’m not smart
i’m digging until i’m numb
i’m feeling
