Today my daughter's heart broke
And I wish I could say it was just some bloke
But the truth is
Our hearts were his.
...
If he had not lied
If he had only blamed himself
If he had not said
The things he said
...
I don’t want to get up out of bed
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
I can’t get up out of bed
...
I’m tired of wanting
and getting
and realising
it’s nothing
...
I was made a fool of today
I was a fool
I fooled around
And they took me for a fool
...
Inside of me is a hard
Metal ball
Pitted and perfectly round
Fitted tightly
...
I will live my life in mediocrity
Or maybe not
Perhaps I will
Give those dreams
...
Take my run with the dogs
for instance
Take my walk in the garden
Take my lazy Saturday lie in
...
What happens
When thoughts
So forbidden rise in your head
You pray
...
