All Been Said Before

I am held together by clothes pins and tension,a wealth of odds and ends

I'm dazzling so dazzling like the neon street signhiccuping off and on again all night longwell

I've got magazine friendsand enough jealousy to lose them alland

I know this has all been said before

I shed what, what escape my fiction provided

I lived a lifetime inside of my shelterand thought it about time to see outside

And I believed it was easy,stupidly thought

I could just get up and walk awaybut

I know this has all been said before

I know this has all been said before

I've got illness hugging me like skinand

I'll shed it clean until

I can taste the oxygen.
