The Reason Pale

Tearing faces in,

The screen so long

Hidden places in,

The streets are gone

Sinking son,

Like a ship

My smouldered low,

Will not be missed  

 

Pale and thin it’s,   

Flagging on the wall,

The Little lie,

The death of us all,

Calling out,

We’re breaking dawn

Shaking broke hands,

The dead we are born

 

Luke warm w***e,

She’s ruling tall

Guided hand on heart,

The past we fall

Looking for the,

Small and fail,

Sinking down for,

The reason pale.

 

I don’t give damn,

So don’t tell me.

Just how beautiful my,

Life should be.

Broken promise,

Never fails,

No single cause,

The reason’s pale.

 

Don’t I know,

There’s a life for,

Me to thank?   

But I’m happy on,

The fringes,

I don’t need a,

Pride or rank.   

 

Yes I know,

Debt is ticking,

Me by.

But I’m happy on,

The fringes,

Day to day I,

Live and die.
