I've been keeping secrets
Since the sun stopped shining on my skin
I've been feeling heavy
From the weather, the air I'm breathing

Outside in the garden I'd sit with the flowers
Counting their colours to break up the hours
And what we learned from the books
We lost in the riots

So much for all of those beautiful paperbacks
Now everything I own comes ready plastic wrapped
I look at you all but there's no eye contact
Too much space between me and who's staring back

Hopеlessly the motions
That I go through take up all my timе
Expanding and contracting in my mind
And trying to block the light

Before there was fire the future was here
But all I could keep were these strange souvenirs
No matter our intentions
It always ends in tears, in tears

So much for all of us beauty will fade to black
Now everything we own comes ready plastic wrapped
And I look at you all but there's never eye contact
Too much space between me and the looking glass

But when I make my final discovery
Maybe then, maybe then you'll notice me?
But no one, no one feels anything
Before it's too late just like human beings
