Alexander James Gopoian http://www.myspace.com/amidsttherapture   Liquor Store Window I'm driving in the high life for a ride i won't forget Because going into a big town only happens once a year The night lights burn my eyes with quick unnerving pulses Screaming come in and get your heart broken And the letter whose meaning stands for everything blinks with a stagger Life, Love, Learning, Lies Staring me in the face as we stop at a traffic light The top is down so there's no worries for regrets The windows stay clear because i want them that way I'm staying the speed limit when the pedestrians cross Amazing the brakes work under the pressure of the crowds My choice is to avoid others' pains even if i shall take the ticket No officer I'm not under an influence... i'm not like the rest Tonight we were going to see the show our lives put on I have the last seat in the last row of the last section The worst view is the best says the man full of bliss Too bad the ignorance breaks my place in line and mugs me as though it were a sign from the fates I let him go and enjoy my blessing... he shall be judged by others' applause Can i have a refund? Your faiths gave me a guarantee to back out from your drama I don't want to be a witness of our faults I want the show to never end... i want it to go on The windshield wipers are broken And so is the hope top canopy canvas But i need to get home some how I need a back up plan See me for what you are and i'll return the favor Because we are all as bad as each other's next How can an inter-mind-state lose my exit? I'll tell you when i find myself there One more turn too late One more lane change without the warning One more crash waiting to happen I drive defensively I drive in spite of the shattered heart Is it mine? Is it yours? For my insurance can't pay for it either way But I'll do what I can to see it through and maybe we can get some coffee later The brown heart shaped stain missed my sleeve and fell on the floor Another sign not to be taken lightly Maybe tonight wasn't the worst but a sign of some contrast Maybe this was just a day of mediocrity Some were jealous and the others, sorry if not apathetic For my gain or loss What was it?
