Suffocation of the Soul - Reuben

I thought that I

Was full of such

Hope and light

And such love

But all my words

I wrote them for you

And all my songs

I sang them for you

Photos of me

They all show

A staring man

I don’t know

You know that I’ve been

Through all this nonsense with you

And all my words

I broke them for you

And all my plans

I snapped them in two

I could create

Like it was stealing

I love to sing

How I was feeling

I had a soul

That burned for beauty

But who gives a shit?

I must admit

Oh yes

I’ve lost it a little bit…

I can’t breathe

This atmosphere

Wait 'til I get out of here

'Cos I have wasted year after year

And smile I may

But it’s insincere my dear

My dear…
