Courting
Homebody (Rock)
I SAW YOUR DAD WALKING DOWNTOWN
IT WAS JUST THE OTHER DAY
A MATINEE, HE DIDN’T PAY TOO MUCH
TO SIT ALONE REFLECTING BACK ONTO THE SCREEN
INDIFFERENCE THAT CONSUMED HIM
HE DIDN’T NOTICE ME
GLASS IS GROWING BLACK FROM ALL THE TIME BETWEEN WANTING HANDS
PROPELLED TOWARD SYNTHETIC WARMTH
YOU LOST WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP
BREATHE IN SLOWLY
IT’S OK TO TAKE YOUR TIME
BECOMING PART OF WHAT IS THERE
TOO STILL TO CARE
IT’S NICER JUST STAYING INSIDE
STARING BLACK REMINDING OF
IT FEELS LIKE LOVE
BUT NO EMOTION JUST SOMETHING TO CRAVE
GLASS IS GROWING BLACK FROM ALL THE TIME BETWEEN WANTING HANDS
PROPELLED TOWARD SYNTHETIC WARMTH
YOU LOST WHEN YOU WERE GROWING OLD
FROM BEYOND
