Trace it,
Draw that sweep on my arm,
The alpha and omega,
I gotta know!
Paint my nails and walk out,
All my aching, oh my god,
Lay still! Bet I won't
Finish it at all,
Yes, look,
I told you I'd be half alive.
It helped to live as desperate
Enemies 'lo,
A melting plastic foreground,
All my guilt just fell apart,
Way slow, a headlock -
It's better not to know.
Been better, been better,
The allegory's mine,
Instead I'll remember
Where all my stories died,
Be less, it's distressing
How time froze
When you weren't around.
Bruised, you wrote "it's the knowing now",
It was phoned-in and out,
Blue, disposed, guess we've blown it now,
Guess we're going now.
Sleep better, sleep better,
So I won't waste my time,
A second to centre
Myself in double time,
So present, if ever
The time froze
When I'm not around.
