Palindrome

can’t you recognize that your life is a palindrome?
pulling at your teeth as your sister insists
she’s never gonna change with a heart like a fist
but it’s easy to arrange when fate is a fatalist
CH
where do we belong?
& where did we go wrong?
each time that we were drawn
on & on & on & onward oh…
a summertime alone shouldn’t be this hard
drab as a fool, aloof as a bard
proud in the rain & sensitive as a scar
& all my former
loves would warn her
the end will be as difficult as the start
BR.
in your wounded pride your failure to hide
how you react i’ll come right back
you can brace yourself against every consequence
& when they fall your back against a wall & all
your subtle evidence defeats your own defense
& each exception to yourself oh it only seems to help
erase the lines that you have drawn
on & on & on & onward…
typical of you to feel it right in your bones
we’ll never collide in a space of our own
can’t you recognize that your life is a palindrome?
