My last words unheard, my cold hand unheld How long had it been since I drew my last breath? But days must still dawn, and coffers need swelled The meeting of targets, unhindered by death Demands overflowed while the seasons all turned Bikes blocked my doorway all day The gasman's last warning faded and sunburned, children and music still played
But my neighbours could see, my neighbours could smell, they flicked away maggots and flies They pled with our landlords, told all they could tell something, or someone had died But nobody came
Hundreds of emails and messages left I could not reply, and no flags were raised Nobody missed me, no friend was beret Police rang the bell once, but soon left unfazed As my heart decomposed, a pandemic was tamed Everyone lived behind doors Temperatures rose, the world was in flames Fiends and fanatics fought wars
And then the storm came, blew Open my door, revealing what neighbours had known Bones and dust in pyjamas, my husk on the floor A life lived and ended alone And then they all came
Can you hear me through your wall? Can you smell my cooking? Can you see my clothes dry on the line? Are you even looking? How can you say I'm safe and well? Can you hear me praying? All boxes ticked and paperworked, as life goes on decayingTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
