Tear Ducts & Itchy Palms

Bared every piece of my soul

I knew how

Still these trees remain barer

Thrown a hundred frisbees in spring

Turned a thousand saucers in fall

Still pie in the sky wins

Watched a lot of people

Seen a ton of smiles

Still trust is obsolete

Walked a million streets or more

Tamed even more shoes

Still I've gotten nowhere

Read all the books they told me to

Seen all the classic flicks

Still most amazed by fire's flicker

Every city seems the same

Every person less a wonder

Still they say life is wonderful

And the wedding gowns blend into the snow

I somehow like them better that way

Still one or the other seems off-white

Plucked the petals off a garden

Wished on endless shooting stars

Still no miracle of love
