Like a breathless summer evening,
When the silence simply roars,
Youâre so attached to what youâre holding now,
But can you prove it yours?
Youâre the saviour of the drowning moon,
The bringer of the luck,
Youâre a concrete case for open space,
Who swears the cities suck.
Youâre the keeper of stars
Shining their cars
Applauding with the one hand youâve got free.
Youâre amazingly graced,
Doesnât show on your face.
Youâre lysergically removed from what you were.
Asleep with the past
Youâre engaged to a dream,
Youâre a sepia creature
On the yesterday screen.
Like a forest in the winter,
When all life has gone to ground.
Holding wordless conversations,
Youâre slaughtered by the sound.
Like a river of forgotten dreams,
You lie strangled in the reeds.
Your sack is full of wild oats,
Why donât you sow come seeds?
The seconds drip, minutes click,
Set the trap, turn the lock,
Turn your back.
Moon dissolves, sun explodes
In the sky, itâs getting dark
Very dark, wonder why.
Knelt before, piece of cheese
On your knees, you always were
Hard to please, hard to please.
Hidden in, liquid clear
Swims the fear, tomorrows child
Doesnât see, doesnât hear.
