Why i Can't Save You

headed closer to disaster

i am consumed by my own laughter

caught up in a humor laced and hazy.

you grip my hand

you say be my savior

but i can choose that direction

especially

when im all wrapped in maybe's.

so dont confuse me with your christ

i cannot walk on water

i did not die for your sins

it seems to me

i'm fading......

and if absolution is your only resolution

then go ahead and count me out

because i dont know what im after.

i'm slipping into images that speak

i couldn't tell you where i've been

so you'll just have to trust a stanger

some things are just as they seem

but

if waking life is real

i don't want to feel

my dreaming has gone to waste

or i won't wake well tomorrow.

in dreams i am more

useful

i have a tighter

grip

a fist full

of ideas

that are oddly

all my own

and this is

why

i can't help her

why

i won't make him better

why

i can't save the world

why

i won't save you.
