ALL I LEAVE BEHIND IS TRUE

All I leave behind is true
Saying so makes good excuse
To not care or appear so
Whether or not I'm found false
Saying so gives me license

This is no fog upon me
But smoke blown from the city's
Garbage dump, it finds me like
Anything else ejected
Man, I'm full of it I know

You know my name, bitter as
Cigarettes and alcohol
I scrounge I steal I'm a king
Worthy of cheap confessions
Tired anti-hero stylings

There's no heart inside of me
(Comets are sucked into it
Stripped of God and paradise)
Maybe bruises in shades of
All I left behind that's true
