Company
Caress me
This loneliness is overtaking
The feeling of these hands is insane
Faces everywhere I look
I can’t escape them now
They’re my company
Oh, they sing to me
La la al
Keeping time to the rhythm
Of my clapping my heart beating
As enchanting as they come
Making love to my empty soul
Gouging out my eyes as they dance
I guess they’re cursed
Maybe loveless
Maybe unloved
Maybe both
Or just crazy
If they push me over
Push me in
I’ll lose my weight
But the moon will dance again
One two three four five
Six
Seven eight nine ten
Going round in circles
‘Till they fall into the shadows again
No more dancing
No more singing
It’s all gone silent
It’s all gone still
I’m caressing myself
But at least I’m not lonely
It still feels amazing
