online friends
only relate to you
because when you're speaking
they're staring at their own face
reflected in their monitor


good ideas on the back of a milk carton
missing
if found
please send them back home
i miss them very much
the reward i offer
is one less page of blank white paper


when you look down on planet earth
from where god's eye rests
you see only brown and blue
one hundred thousand years ago
and one hundred thousands years from now
this is still true
mankind hasn't left that great of an impact
we will all be forgotten


if there's a god
and one day he ends the world
he'll kill the musicians first
there's nothing more blasphemous
than imitating the sound of an angel's voice


once the box was opened
pandora hid inside
the guilt she felt
ripped her apart
she closed the lids to hide the screams
she asphyxiated, then died
we're not innocent
we can't hide from our guilt
bloodshot
and puffy eyes
won't make death feel sorry for us
