So-So

So you want someone to talk to
so you buy the room a round
so you can breathe and move with
another body's sound, you choose it

so you you can feel the fifteen
so-so years spent from her side
so the distance, field is held
so safe at Mother's side

So you want to love somebody
Sergeant Pepper's lonely call
so you spot a chance that isn't
just so different after all.

So you try to make things balance
in the black and out the red
so you think that talent backs you
so it couldn't fail and then

sow your seeds of self delusion
so your soul holds out its storm
so the bones and ghost don't weaken
in the face of shadows borne.
