Sunday Afternoon - A Silent Movie

Brought it all here
Served to silver platter
The drapes were all slung
Red and hung down
Better than to guess
Assumption went asunder
Could tell by your pause
This will drown
Frail feeling becomes
Like the nail befell the hammer
Driving it in When you spoke
The Admission was too much
Returning the ticket
Can never take away What you toke

Breathing is much harder
When goodbye couldn't describe that pinch
Regardless of what was said, and the time that was spent
Discarded without a break or flinch
Cuz' you never needed me as much as I needed you
And you never caught my glance, because my brow was amusing too
And the day to day rhetoric of what we had become
Could have made a silent movie produce the loudest sound

The check deserves its mate
Carnivals, in turn, its barker
To explain to their viewer
That their story has grown darker
Underlying plot points
Of the delicate kind
Causing some unease
And fucking with the mind
If the jury had its verdict
Could I be guilty too?
Never could contain
A lunar autumn view
So I clasped my hands so tightly
Seeing eyes in stare so frighteningly
Avoiding conscience failing free
Wishing god . . . could someone just stop me?

Cuz' you never needed me as much as I thought I needed you
And you never caught my glance, because my frown was amusing too
You'd snicker and you'd snear, yeah, but who is laughing now?
Neither of us'll know the color of clouds
When the sun meets up to dawn, and we'll quietly awake
To whichever deity recognizes the bullshit and the faking of our
Day to day rhetoric of what we had become
Could have made a silent movie produce the loudest sound
