Wear
Your Sorrow
We wake
to the day at hand
like
another thing we never wanted
but
can't quite bring ourselves
to give
away
outside
the billboards
and the
faces advertise
the
latest version of fear
but
we've already bought
the
deluxe edition
with
the lifetime warranty
so we
find a place
where
we can rest a bit
and get
some poison in our guts
so
we'll be safe awhile
from
the things that chase us
the
world's no different
from
anyone
just
another sad thing
trying
to make it through
on
nights without sleep
it
cries for lost things
and the
lack of what it once
dreamed
to be
wear
your sorrow like a favorite dress
and
I'll sing you songs of no second chances
our
only crime is imagining the world
more
beautiful than it was born to be
if we
met it on the street today
it
wouldn't even know our names
but I
swear to you it loved us once
and you
can't buy that kind of thing anymore
not
even on computers.
--William Taylor Jr.
