Ricochet

Tell me where it hurts
And I'll tell you
Why you shouldn't trust
A smiling clown
And pinky promises,
Tell me how
It feels like to be 22,
With a soul borrowed
From an 80-year-old man
And I'll tell you why
Some good things
Aren't meant to last longer
Than a heavy-duty light bulb,
And it's funny
How life isn't always more fun
On a roller coaster ride,
And a haunted rocking chair
Reminds you more of things
You're afraid to try,
Tell me why sometimes
Bad luck sticks like Elmer's glue
And I'll tell you why
Time is a cruel teacher
Who will never teach you
Why Karma is a tipsy witch
And a death wish said out loud
Is an extra challenge to the mute sky,
Tell me who
Owns a seat in heaven
And I'll tell you why despair is a clingy friend
Who makes a great company
When you're walking
In someone else's shoes,
Searching for answers
In empty pavements,
Asking why
Too much is sometimes never enough.
