Wave Attack

I've been keeping secrets Since the sun stopped shining on my skin I've been feeling heavy From the weather, the air I'm breathing Outside in the garden I'd sit with the flowers Counting their colours to break up the hours And what we learned from the books We lost in the riots So much for all of those beautiful paperbacks Now everything I own comes ready plastic wrapped I look at you all but there's no eye contact Too much space between me and who's staring back Hopеlessly the motions That I go through take up all my timе Expanding and contracting in my mind And trying to block the light Before there was fire the future was here But all I could keep were these strange souvenirs No matter our intentions It always ends in tears, in tears So much for all of us beauty will fade to black Now everything we own comes ready plastic wrapped And I look at you all but there's never eye contact Too much space between me and the looking glass But when I make my final discovery Maybe then, maybe then you'll notice me? But no one, no one feels anything Before it's too late just like human beings
