Wasted Time

The corners of my smile,
Are taped to my cheek,
Eight to four,
I won’t let you see.
The coffee is wearing,
Me down,
And I’m tired,
Everyday.
I don’t want to serve you,
But I’ve got bills,
And wasted time.
I stare in the reflection,
Of the machine,
And I can’t help but notice,
It doesn’t look like me.
How do I do it,
All at one time?
Proving my own courage,
While serving the same line.
I don’t want to serve you,
But I’ve got bills and a lofty view,
Waiting for the open sign,
To flicker off,
Like my wasted time,
My wasted time...
No one really knows this,
I’ve lost a lot of focus,
Dealing with these strangers,
Who look at us like servants.

Beyond

Are you in the great beyond,
Or some pit?
Do you feel different,
Away from it all?
Report back, report to me,
Tell me everything, can you see,
Can you feel it, feel your body,
rising?
Where are you now?
I still call your name,
I’ll find you somehow.
Rolling off my fingertips,
I fumble then reach,
Straight into the pockets,
Of memories - intervening.
With the way you move on,
From a world that wears you down,
I can feel it, feel your body,
Right next to me.
Where are you now?
I still call your name,
I’ll find you somehow.
Oh when you’re not like yourself,
I can always tell.

I Think I'm Ready

We’ve been talking,
A lot recently,
And my eyes are still half closed.
I’m not looking,
To get married,
So lets see how this goes.
Oo I think I’m ready,
Ready.
In the midst of,
Washing dishes,
Imagining something beyond,
Beyond, beyond, beyond.
You step into that memory,
Rearranged and hazy,
Is it how I remember it to be?
I used to feel so heavy.
Oo I think I’m ready,
Ready.
Like a quiet number,
wreaking havoc in my ears,
I’m listening all the time.
This apartments buzzing,
And the walls, the walls are humming,
I’m listening all the time.
As the lock is bolted,
I step outside antennas focused,
Im listening all the time.
Oo I think I’m ready,
Ready.
Oo I think I’m ready,
Ready.
