The writer
You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lying next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
You're changing me
Casting these shadows
where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted
By the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent
what's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell you're skin
And when I feel it
you're wearing thin
But I've got a plan...
Why don't you be the artist
And make me out of clay
Why don't you be the writer
and decide the words I say
cuz I'd rather pretend
I'd still be there in the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me?
...
Sat on youre sofa
It's all broken spring
This isn't the place for
those violin strings
I try out a smile
And I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan...
Why don't you be the artist
and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer
and decide the words I say
cuz I'd rather pretend
I'd still be there in the end
Only it's too hard to ask
won't you try to help me?
...
You wait
I wait
Casting shadows
Interrupted
