Two

Can I please be oblivious?
Wanna break into a run,
Don’t know what to call this
I’ve only just begun.

You and your names, they haunt me still
I’ll do it all, wait by your door
Dream of you, and
Your phantom kiss.

I can be your favourite liar
Your boy without a soul
Lead you through this life, uninspired.
I know I’m not the one you’re looking for.

So pick up your weight and walk with me
Only we know we can never be free.
Everything I do, feels the same
These songs I write don’t mean a thing.

Like a soldier fighting a losing battle
A gun and a flower in his hands.
I get up and walk away
Then I was just a boy.
Now I’m only a man.
