Fragments of Self

from LIGHTBULB PROVERBS by Euie b Graham

lyrics

It’s the opposite of denial slip and strip your senses here for now
The pain inside your body is testament to uncomfortable emotions
Sift through the choices, to set them out in order to find a thing to gain
Set adrift in mindset to calculate the money threat to make a kind of deal
Ask a stupid question reveal your insignificance in front of all your peers
Sneaker squeak on poly vinyl, masked face reading the signs between the lines
The sun is playing hide and seek, nervous patients jiggle feet
Consumed in dialogue
Die in his blood, arms above his head
Arrest caught in statue, trembling digits
Warnings and commands
Masked faces reading eyes
Hallways with cheap art, interns and out-turns
Signs and coloured lights, view of a building site
Sky retreats to solitude
Helicopter leaves hit the pavement
I know this face, I’ve used this name, I’m not the same
I know this game, I’ve played to lose, I’ve no excuse
You set the table game, the pieces aren’t quite the same as you remember
The remedy is pure presented as the cure for this malaise
The giving of yourself, is left upon the shelf gathering dust
The artist’s thoughts are clear, morn the lost career, who could have known?
The tumble of the dice, give in to hurtful vice
And take the blame

I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
