CarnivalA Poem by wakaishitaiWanted to write a song, but I was at work and I didn't have service to listen to instrumentals. So I just wrote these words down instead.* Even though you've had a few, you're deaf to tunes you're dancing to I don't wanna make you move, an idle lullaby I can feel the magnitude, the depth of what I'm asking you Cheaper than most words would be, I think I've bought some time Why you wanna make me prove the fact that I'm in love with you? Catapulting after you before you say goodbye Every time I laugh with you I find a play a bitter fool All my selfish inquiries will make the truth a lie Yellow tainted baby blue, a color made for only two How is it I'm next to you when I don't feel alive? I know what you make of me, an artist who's insatiably infatuated by your state of mind I know I broke all the rules, but that's because you told me to When we would speak alone in dreams of mine I know it was awful cruel, I try my best to offer you a love I know you're desperate not to find Actually, and masterfully I catch you in the act of wishing you could send a shiver down my spine Love is an acquired taste and I have no more time to waste We're biting both our tongues when we should talk You can name a thought in haste, a thought I know you'll soon replace A heart of stone is still a beating rock Read between the lines and trace the sections labeled "my mistakes" You're beautiful because you're in a mood Never thought I'd have to say, that soon I will be old and grey And loving you is something you find rude I say I know you better than you think, you say I'm wrong I'll sing a song you wish you'd never listened to You just keep distracting me, you say I'm acting drastically I'm more of a catastrophe at best I contemplate a remedy in hopes that you'll remember me Despite the fact I linger on your breath Doctoring the way you think of me, I do it endlessly I fathom of a notion you should keep Carnival of audio, a circus full of freaks Adios, arpeggio, you lull me back to sleep * © 2018 wakaishitai |
