show me

mercy from this misery


it shouldn't be

no ray of light will seize your window

everything is dead

even the mattress on your bed

it shouldn't be filthy

relationships with sin



so the roads may be quiet

the trains may hum and sigh

the people on the street

walk their lives on by



show me

courage from this cruelty

it couldn't be

wear your carriage like an armour

the radio says

now that everything's in place

it couldn't be

how you let them slap you on your face



so the song may be nice

the faces may entice

the people swallow whole

as art is realized

show me

meaning from this comedy

it wouldn't be

a room like this is never vulgar

why the walls are red?

the children who will never sing

it wouldn't be

summer steps will never spring



so the heads may deny

the bodies may defy

the people & their lives

how they slip on by.
