I'm failing at focus
Ideas are all homeless
I'm flicking through days at a time
Attention disturbed
I didn't listen, just heard
Turning worn-out into wine
I gave you your moment
Held back your opponents
A blink isn't twinned with a lie
Not mad, just concerned
The neighbours all heard
And there's new marks on my pride
See, see all the things that I meant to do
My ambition, a petting zoo
Zeal in a coop
Alone in the vaguest blue
Time, turning my faith to ammonite
Desire is worth the bite
Try as I might
A fool is the Moon's disguise
Alone but I chose it
The hotel, the process
I'm out of my air and my mind
If this is my end, forgive all my friends
To love is always to die
No poem, no roses
No pictures, no poses
I slip out like guilt from a crime
A nightmare than won, a king bed, a gun
A silence too sublime
See, see all the things that I meant to do
My ambition, a petting zoo
Zeal in a coop
Alone in the vaguest blue
Time, turning my faith to ammonite
Desire is worth the bite
Try as I might
A fool is the Moon's disguise
So I try to keep the night-light light
Cover my eyes, but keep the night-light light
Hold my love tight
Now that I've said my piece
Fire, doctor, police
Look at the marks on my knees
