You Done Tried

By Matthew Aaron Mossotti

Oh, well, so you wanted more?

The sweetness has gotten sour?

Oh, well, so you’ve found the floor?

Look up and wonder, “what for?”

You done tried to fly solo.

You done tried to find the edge.

You done tried to hide yourself.

You done tried; aren’t you tired?

Oh, well, as you were; guns and roses -

- Demented wannabe super hero.

Superman’s dead. So is Nietzsche.

Your Kryptonite is your self-love.

You done tried to fly solo.

You done tried to find the edge.

You done tried to hide yourself.

You done tried; aren’t you tired?

How far will you fall down before you look up?

How far will you fall down before you look up and wonder, “what for?”

You done tried to fly solo.

You done tried to find the edge.

You done tried to hide yourself.

You done tried; aren’t you tired?
