Performing Arts |
| 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 |
