Bugs

And the blue night air

It breaks on, sleepy town

And I need you here

just to pull me down

Hear the gossips breed

And ambition rot

Hear the bugs still feed

on what time forgot

Still I need you too

Come and find my heart

Come and hold me through

all these cold remarks

No more lonely nights

Please, I beg the sky

I’m so scared of heights

and I feel so high

This isn’t London man

Just suburban cloaks

Where the lovers grab

at each others throats

If I make my stand

Will the weeds still grow?

Where the teardrops land

and no one knows

It’s one step forward

But then two steps back

My words so awkward when my hearts attacked

It’s so quiet out here

On these empty streets

But I can’t disappear where no one breathes

I can feel you call

All my silent friends

With our names on walls

and our raw pretence

I’m still holding out

I’m still fighting hard

But it’s shouting loud

from embittered scars

This isn’t London man

Just suburban cloaks

Where the lovers grab at each others throats

If I make my stand

Will the weeds still grow?

Where the teardrops land and no one knows
