Sentimental Song - Ultrasound

From dawn to dusk

When the day has torn its craters from your wanderlust

And the needle’s cut a groove to which it can’t adjust

In spite of us

And fire burns like ice now

If it’s cold enough

Silver shines like gold until it’s obvious

That it’s not

We tried in vain awash with fake abandon

Romantic as a glitter ball

Of all the fantasies affected

Just came and went and left me cold

Sentimental songs

We all sing along

Sawn to dust

Now friendship serves a purpose

Like a tablecloth

That’s frayed around the edges but is good enough

To the uninvited few

And all the strains of love surrender

Were wasted on me long ago

Of all the fallacies created

After all there’s only one
