Cubicles

The platform's full at Oxford Circus
There's just one seat; I get there first
My gaze drifts down to laces blue
And suddenly my routine is thrown askew
Those shoes live two desks down...
I try to melt into the crowd
As my nerves spark up and scatter
'Til I freeze when she suggests we walk to work
Shoestrings and matching eyes
Crosswords to pass the time
The little things begin to fill my mind
Two years trapped behind
Cubicles and fear of trying
But words outside the box have set me right
Two straws and Twenty Questions
Go by the book but then digress
A tab paid with motley foreign change
The street signs blur so we stumble through the maze
Forgot to close the curtain
Sun barges in and so I stir
And wonder, "Was last night in my head?"
But then I spy laces blue beside my bed

Spirit of the Staircase

Your sick expectations intensified every day
The cruelest kind of fun
You talked like you owned me
Sometimes it felt that way
Sometimes I dreamt that I was free
I wish I told you not to call anymore
That I've done nothing I should be sorry for
And I wish you were here now so I could finally slam the door
Mmmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmmm
When you finally came around
I got my hopes high
You always let me down
You were drunk off the power
You had over my helpless eyes
And you were always drinking anyhow

Last Breath

Walking through the streets of my
Hazy memory all night
I pass your house along the way but pay no mind
'Cause this song is your last breath
I pray for permanent respite
But happenstance acts fast to deny it
You cast your shadow; my heart drops for the last time
But this song is your last breath
Finally a chance to speak my mind
Spiteful fantasies can come alive
But I'm powerless before your twisted life so I just walk on by
This song is your last breath
