Glimmers in dark cities
The melody draws to a stunning close
Or so you think
In this lonely musing cloud
We dream on
Of pretty days and memories long lost
Oh why can’t we just be
Where we are in this moment
For a split second daydream
We weave out of our own reverie
Crested on a wave too far away
In this suffocating high
We dare not let go of
For longing
Clutching at all your drawn out introspection
Brushing past all that bleary loss
If we pretend hard enough
All this lovely monotony
Looks like it could be
Something we could survive
Affronted by a love we live in
A flimsy faded fantasy
For another jaded day
No, don’t open your eyes
Let’s stay here
In this memory filled with fog and yearning
For every word we won’t acknowledge
Every star we only see now
The world, a broken clock
Refusing to stand still
Ticking by for a person
Waiting for its heartbeat to stop
For a meagre chance
To feel like we matter
In the cosmic shattering
That comes after.
