This poetry is hard to read |
It’s prophesising death for me |
A stage prepares for tragedy |
A part we played too well this year |
Your turn of phrase is mastery |
You knit and weave a tapestry |
But art is subjectivity |
I can’t appreciate this piece |
PRE-CHORUS |
I’m not sleeping lately |
Nothing feels the same way |
I’m not sleeping lately |
Nothing feels the same |
Acts of kindness and sorry scenes |
You were hiding contempt for the life we lead |
This is the slow returning arc of misery |
I confided and you agreed |
Said we’d fight it, but this is a losing streak |
I have become my father years before I’ve even been me |
Didn’t feel the fault lines stirring |
Couldn’t smell the castle burning |
I didn’t see the slow decay, the flakes of paint |
A bedroom turns from red to grey |
And now her hands to my lips |
Telling me I don’t deserve this |
Let’s hear another cold cliché, like people change |
But a snake will always be a snake |
PRE-CHORUS |
I’m not sleeping lately |
Nothing feels the same way |
I’m not sleeping lately |
Nothing feels the same |
Acts of kindness and sorry scenes |
You were hiding contempt for the life we lead |
This is the slow returning arc of misery |
I confided and you agreed |
Said we’d fight it, but this is a losing streak |
I have become my father years before I’ve even been me |
