Define yourself. Define those around you. It seems easy until you look past the labels.

lyrics

Cigarette butts
on an ash filled floor
a poem forgotten
and I'm writing some more

Fallen forsaken
bound and broken
enlightened empowered
raging in silence

illuminate eradicate
start over again
a poet and a teacher
a princely pied-pauper

a treasure for your leisure
a note out at sea
leader and follower
neither is me

neither is me, neither is me

a killer who's a winner
a wild wall street wrangler
watches from the window
for a fresh faced harvest

a sad serenade
singing one man brigade
makes homemade lemonade
from welfare aid

a hunted homosexual
and consenting bisexual
heal a frenetic
dumpster diving dyslexic

a dreamer and a schemer
with dead distant demeanor
dumps a dubstep drummer
for a drunk dame who's dimmer

neither is me, neither is me

I'm a 99-percenter
and a person of colour
a previous homeowner
with no present buyer

A peripheral savvy
lipstick heavy
long lash luscious booty
stick thin skank

a sometimes sexy and
super-scent heavy
green-card crazy
gold-digging little brat

damaged goods and destitute
livin on a playa
paying for the living
by playin on his flute

neither is me?

Tales for the telling and
songs for the asking
food for the wanting and
drink for the dying

Hell for the pious and
heaven for the devil
Hope for the lost and a
Harlot at the saddle

A wish come true is
a curse you choose
Pain so bad it turns
to pleasure again

I'm not anyone special
I cannot be considered wise but
some things I've learned
as a student of life

Some things I've learned as a Student of Life
