Soul mates
Are stolen crates of wishes
Forget love letters
Forget drug & *** woos
All we want is a friend
Funny how friend is now taboo
Pick a pocket full of daisies for no one
No one wants a pocket of something that dies
Yet we all die
We all perish
So why does it matter what we give
As long as we give freely
Instead we take cheaply lavish
And shove it in our pockets
Of bed-posts, of lamp-shades
Of never-seen river-glades
Where we bury the bodies
Of souls we never knew
Never took the time to
Never had the mind to sense
All these warning bells and chimes
Could never recompense
For time spent
For words lent
So cheaply
We've grown so cheaply
Accept a videotape
Watch the actions
Ignore the lips not moving
Watch the actions
Ignore the edits
Watch the actions
Miss the key plot
Sleep through it
Too busy dozing off
You've missed it
We could've had it all
If only we had time
But we missed it
Me one moment off
You a lifetime
