Polaroids

Pictures black and white
or color.
There's a postcard
sent from heaven.
Says make the most
of never-never.
Horizon starts right here.
The future's always near.
I know this time
is borrowed.
I try to remember
then forget my sorrow.

Celluloid. Monochrome.
Or color.
Don't want to end in tears.
I'll leave before my fears confound.
Scared to love.
Wasted knowledge.
Gift to the grave

These four walls
Could last forever.
I could never
be that clever.

Celluloid. Monochrome. Or color.
Don't want to end in tears.
There's nothing left to discover.
Did I learn to walk to soon?
Is there time to plum the screw???
Survive destiny.
Polaroid me.
What's left to say
about yesterday?

I'll leave before my fears confound.
Scared to love.
Wasted knowledge.
Give to the grave
These four walls
could last forever.
I could never
be that clever.
