being lost in detroit

i feel so lost
but i know where i'm going today
this city was built like a grid
so that anyone can find their way

tangled fingers
tiny hands
bend me backwards
making amends
my skyline is scarred
and my insides know the excuse

i feel so ashamed
but mile roads are leading my way
cause today i am paying for
the assault on your bedroom floor

tangled fingers
tiny hands
bend me backwards
making amends
so please don't
please stop
this is not my obligation

and there was only so much i could do

(italics: ani difranco
gratitude)
