What ever changed when you chose to refrain
and sadness became the pigment for the paint?
Did the picture look great, all brushed up in shades
of a singular colour devoid of any weight?
Lost in the floods before they even rushed
And set the best part of living adrift
Past the moonlit crush
Using glue for the ashes of constructive thought
A victim of bad timing, even though your eyes
never left the clock, like the chip was too big to ever give up and gratification was never enough, just a stick in the mud to help yourself
Lost in the floods before they even rushed
And set the best part of living adrift
Past the moonlit crush
You kept drinking from an empty glass
Until the emptiness consumed you
A lull that doesn't shift,
a cloud that doesn't part
A veil that never lifts,
a day that never starts
Still fraught at tongue, after the pink light fades
Beyond the horizon all washed away
