Tragedies in July

Everyone's chattering
Nobody's listening
Till we run out of things to say
Borrowed an anecdote
Laughed at a hollow joke
Just games of scrabble we all play

Am I here are you there, we ask the void
Are we even making a noise?

And this is how waves crash into seas
Stars dash obliviously
Our tragedy's a voice without tongue
Like a song only whispered not sung

Greeks, they found mammoth skulls
Said they were giants' eyes
Weaving their sweet beautiful lies
We found our loneliness
Loudest of silences
Said this is how we make love

Am I here is he there, she asks the void
Is he an idea or a boy?

And this is how waves crash into seas
Stars dash obliviously
Our tragedy's a voice without tongue
Like a song only whispered not sung

Maybe our egos
Are saying it's all a hoax
Maybe we're strangers, I don't know

You're not here I'm not there, the void, she sighs
Stop waiting for phantom replies
Like water, we're rushing through sand, it damps
Then leaving without second glance

And this is how waves crash into seas
Stars dash obliviously
Our tragedy's a voice without tongue
Like a song only whispered not sung
