Traci Seems

Can’t smoke any more cigarettes
So I’m playing the synergistic effect
Of stolen pills like little jets

And the promise of the motorcycle roar
Across a foreign shore

Traci seems like nothing’s changed
You’ve kept your act together
Like a kitten in a microwave
The dark sons shine on you in verse
Is it your destiny to run country to country
Heart jumping sun to sun
Loving the barrel of a gun?

You’ve let neon take over
Where your light once was
Cause the media machine-gunned
All your confidence

Having sex with space cadets
Just to get your reflection wet
Begging validation through
Those one-fifth the worth of you

Traci seems like nothing’s changed
You’ve kept your act together
Like a kitten in a microwave
The dark sons shine on you in verse
Is it your destiny to run
Country to country
Heart jumping sun to sun
Guessing the meaning of a swan?
