<p>I could walk until my feet bleed 

but that would divert my attention 

from the stars that stare at me 

and the tar that wants me to stick

just so it feels known for one whole second. 

 

I could walk until my feet bleed 

but that would mean bleeding on 

a path that promises to save me 

and I don&#39;t want to tarnish the hope 

of something that could save me from this. 

 

I could walk until my feet bleed 

but that would deny the taxi driver 

a fuckload of money 

tearing cash from my emptying pockets 

emptied on love and taste. 

 

I could walk until my feet bleed 

but I don&#39;t fucking have to.</p>
