A salt lake in my eyes, Right behind the lids. Two briny pools, Corroding my mids. Rusting my soul, Oxidising my veins. Two briny pools, Over flowing my pains.
Nothing was said and nothing was done, I was in bed but I still heard the gun. Go off in the distance, a shot in the dark, And a lifeless body falls in the park. A red stain of blood like some kind of mark, And all the witnesses are covered with bark. The park was empty, as now was the gun. And the lifeless body was all said and done.
I had a word, word, word That once I heard, heard, heard. The word was nice, nice, nice, I've used it twice, twice, twice. But then it broke, Went up in smoke. And I was left, With just a cleft. The word's now gone, And I'm alone, Alone, lone, lone.
