Arrears

by

Thomas Granger

I've given you most of everything when nothing would suffice
Taking you've got leaving in control
Recount the only number to make sure it isn't twice
Positive the plug is in the hole

Hope is in the picture, between yes and no, and right
Somewhere in the middle of goodbye
Though on the outer edges all the memories reunite
I realize I frivolously retry

Them, the screaming voices chant the songs of yesterday
The sounds of Love I try, but can't forget
I hurt so much inside the feeling outside's slipped away
I realign my heart you leave upset

It doesn't matter anyway, not one little bit
Not to be on anybody's list
If I could be happy I would find a way to quit
Sadness where nobody could have missed

I take the better part of that which keeps you in arrears
Owing all my pleasures to demand
Loving for no reason over countless, losing years
Burying my pain beneath the sand

NEXT?
Why don't you look at Merry Go Round
