Suspend the Death Watch - Thomas Giles

Been waiting for so long.

For the stranger I’ve become.

I thought he would hide,

stay out of sight.

Crawl back to where you came from.

So many pathetic nights.

Pushed the switch to the side.

A downpour soon drenched,

the dyes from my lies.

Stand where you’ve come from.

Can’t make this go away.

Every twist and turn,

a weak child evolve.

Feel sorry for me.

I keep bringing it all back,

A constant corrosion, a collection.

Don’t feel sorry for me.

Once had a vision.

Lazily slump back soon crumbled.

Words so sharp,

left a small mark.

Sing with the old one.

The ocean drained slowly.

The cups overflowing.

It’s when you’re inside,

they start to collide.

Shout with the loud one.

Can’t make this go away.

Every twist and turn,

a weak child evolve.

Feel sorry for me.

I keep bringing it all back,

A constant corrosion, a collection.

Don’t feel sorry for me.
