Like a friend

LIKE A FRIEND (E A D G B E)

Don’t you care? Don’t you mind? Aren’t you good? Aren’t you fine? Aren’t you scared? So am I.

Can’t you see? Can’t you tell? Aren’t you great? Aren’t you well? Can anyone else see that shadow move?

 

And the magpies make you nervous. It’s like a long nite.

Watch the tide rise. They say that time is like a friend. But I’ve lost touch with most of them.

 

Something glows in the night. Spreads its wings, melts like ice. Felt its light in my hands.

Something falls, something crashes. Hold the moon, inhale its ashes. We’re like matches.

 

And the darkness is thick enough to swallow us all.

Watch the stars as they turn on and off again. I heard that time is like a friend.

 

It’s like a lens over my heart. It’s like a wave inside my chest.

The end is tethered to the start. And I’m not finished yet.

 

A beautiful view is nothing without perspective. So, let’s go and get it. I don’t want to regret it.

I am losing something every day. I am watching as you slip away.

 

And the darkness is warm enough to get lost in forever.

Watch the shark as it swims between your legs. You are here and you’re not scared of them.

We’re not scared of them.
