Clockwork

I'll study you, I'll put you against my ear to hear the whirring noises you make.
I'll study you and try to listen to the clicking of gears and figure you out without any supporting literature.
I'll make up theories and I'll shoot in the dark and it will all be by trial and error.
But I'll study you, so that when I take you apart, I'll know how to put you back together again.

Discover

You're a ray that sneaked in, painted the room and softened its shadows. Not invasive.
You're a new jazz tune I discovered on a treasured vinyl called out of its retirement.
You're buttery toast all by itself, that leaves a salty grease on my fingers
and coats my lips and leaves your name on my tongue.
You're a new and exciting kind of 'familiar', I could get used to never getting used to.

Love and money

I whisper your name.
"Love and money", I whisper your names

Untitled song

I want you, but I don't.
I'll feed on you when I'm bored.
I'll call on you in my mind.
Oh I'll see you when I'm dying.

You're that habit I must drop.
Coz I could be the worst of the crop.
I've got to sweat you out of my pores
Coz you're not magic anymore.


 

Not good enough

If there's a way to win you over, I'd like to know

It's not that I have nowhere to be.
I'm not alone in a crowd.
It's not that I have no other desires.
You just create a space.
