we danced and we danced
we gave a blood sacrifice
but the rain still came
i’m not welcome here
i have nowhere else to go
scratching at the door
mankind is long gone
tree roots tear through the pavement
reclaiming the street
the plane dips and rocks
the vast desert beneath us
how did i get here?
the plane dips and rocks
the vast desert beneath us
how did i get here?
on the radio
you struggle reading adverts
wordplay falling flat
map the universe
calculate every outcome
never live a day
circular logic
you can’t concede to yourself
this isn’t over
twitching a twitcher
the birds subscribe to the feed
nature’s ‘like’ button
here we are again
the punchline to a long joke
a joke no one told
completely naked
but for top hat and goggles
i dress to impress
banished as a child
a world inside a painting
slowly rots away
air leaks from the room
i reach out to touch your hand
my arm halts, frozen
