Ornaments - Caitlyn Scarlett

I wish I was good enough to hold my own hand

I am lost, I am found

Wish I could balance myself out

I’m a sunset with no one around to look at me

Somebody look at me

My age is going to waste

My love is starting to decay

People never stay, why do people never stay?

And I wonder what it’s like to have a different state of mind

Yeah, I wonder what it’s like having a different state of mind to mine

People are like ornaments in shops I can’t afford

So when I observe them in their whim, all the beauty and the sin

I keep my hands in, to myself, I don’t touch

I don’t love, I don’t trust, I don’t get around too much

(I don’t love, I don’t trust, I don’t get around too much)

I wish I could hold a steady gaze and conversation

I am many, I am one

I wish I could recognise a phase when I’m in one

Always loading like a shotgun
