i take a chance
when i have no chance at all
it's stupid i know
but fear has great big jaws and it's chewing

i listen to camus
on my way home
it makes me feel alone
but i just can't help chewing

over the bricks of a shitty sidewalk
that sees the flirts bloom into sluts
i stumble, day-old band-aids on a bite-marked heart
i know how a moment ends, but how does it start?
