Kinetic

Through the strength of your arms, I realized I was off the mark
All I really wanted was a pair of interested ears
I learned that for every pause, I was almost guaranteed more time to speak
It's always the selfish who say that life is way too short

I'm not looking to get old, but I bet it'll happen anyway
Now I look at my hands, they don't move the same as two years ago
At a slow steady pace, I made my way back home
At least, there I won't be ashamed

Earlier today, I felt the warmth as the skin it held the heat
Now the city surrounds me in different tones of gray
Those are the same cries that make my bones shake
Those are the same assholes that take more than they can handle

I'm alone, but I'm not lonely
I have kinetic energy
The dividing line will separate us all
Sometimes it's those nights
Where I'm all I have is really all I need
