Shelf Life

Carey Ott


Warsaw in winter 
flowery graves 
can you still hear them 
whisper your name 
afraid of the cold spots 
caught in the tree tops 

love is a dog fight 
youre losing your shelf life 
i cant crawl out of this space 
hours fade without a trace 

all of you listening 
to forfeitted years 
forget what they taught you 
open your ears 
all of the great ones 
sleep with the worn dumbs 

love is a dog fight 
youre losing your shelf life 
i cant crawl out of this space 
hours fade without a trace 

i cant crawl out of this space 
hours fade without a trace 

duh duh duh duh 

all of the great ones 
sleep with the worn dumbs 

love is a dog bite 
youre losing your self life 
i cant crawl out of this space 
hours fade without a trace
