A Slow Life
I heard you knock twice
Blurry you looked nice
So I let you in
Nothing in words before
We sat in back rows
Still like two mannequins
Alone with your book
You stared at your chucks
In my practice booth
Sore hands
With blood on the keys
I barely kept up
And yet you came to me
Now you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight
And there is a silence
A quiet violence
Where there was a song
You are unwell and gone
With our indifference
We just carry on
I was drunk when they came up to me
Remember so and so from university
Green eyes
Kept to herself
How could we have known
It was a cry for help
So you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight
No one to talk you off that ledge
In hindsite
Now you are never coming back again
Said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
I pray you are resting
And this is simply
To say goodbye
Blurry you looked nice
So I let you in
Nothing in words before
We sat in back rows
Still like two mannequins
Alone with your book
You stared at your chucks
In my practice booth
Sore hands
With blood on the keys
I barely kept up
And yet you came to me
Now you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight
And there is a silence
A quiet violence
Where there was a song
You are unwell and gone
With our indifference
We just carry on
I was drunk when they came up to me
Remember so and so from university
Green eyes
Kept to herself
How could we have known
It was a cry for help
So you are never coming back again
They said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
No you are never coming back again
Because the darkness took you
Oversoon in death
In twilight
No one to talk you off that ledge
In hindsite
Now you are never coming back again
Said you fled
To find yourself and different friends
A slow life
I pray you are resting
And this is simply
To say goodbye
