Chorus by Saul Williams

We are all mirrors
We speak outbursts & job interviews
Logos on our tongues
One movie quote away from laughter
One text message away from crying
Lips riddled with bilingual subtitles in the language
from a world we are not from
In thee business of selling the priceless
Merchants of imagination
Only good at what we’re good at
Only want to go where we’ve never been without leaving our homes 
Occupied without occupations
Believe in books from a time we didnt live in that break belief into fractions
and all we are left with is long division
Down the middle
The heart is a riddle
Perspectives a weapon
Out of shape
Excersising ego till it looks like confidence
Confined to where our pasts have been
Late to a meeting with our futures
Instruments out of tune creating our own time signatures
Out of key
But open to becoming our favorite songs
Dreams sound better when unexplained
Clouds look nicer when you’re not flying through them
Facial features feature our parents flaws
Microscope your every breath
Look closer
How many lives do you see?
How many lives do you live in a day?
Paralyzed by the thought of who we will be when we are not here
Is being ahead of your time choosing to be a non-factor in these now
Juggling questions like the answers are up to us
Gravitating to a place with less of it
Look at me looking at you when looking at me
How do we look?
We ignore each other because we dont have anything left to say after hello
Unsure of what beauty is anymore
We look in mirrors for a story we’ve never seen before 
Ask stars questions we are the answers to
We are flowers beautiful without ever seeing a picture of ourselves
Watered by the moments we love ourselves
Caught in
We love we 
We love us nots
What is more beautiful than we? 
We are hello’s we’ve never met
Faith without church
Fear unlearned
Life without worlds
poetry without words
