Untitled, 25 Oct 11


Beats keep beating
Hearts keep thumping
In the land of fantasy
Why is it so destitute?

Sky so sunny
Rain so distant
These trees so inviting
Like a midsummer night's dream

Walk over to the road
A one-way street

Walk over to the road
Which way will we take?

Which way will we take?
A question seems so simple
For a one-way street
Leaves little room for error

Where are you going?
The sign says "One-Way"

Where are you going?
Why is this defying gravity?

The clouds thus thicken
When the street signs give lies

Now the question is simple
Which way do I go?
Because only one way
Seems natural to me

Which way do I go?
Is there any way I can go?

Beats won't stop beating
Hearts won't stop thumping
I can't walk past
This one-way street

Out in the distance...
Sunset red envelopes
My legs won't walk in reverse
On the side of this destitute road
