Puncture

It's useless to say
That you only scratch the surface
Your surficial face
Bears the mark of everything

Every undertaking overthrown
Your ways to wait for the next time
And you should have seen your face
As they banished you to your outskirts

Like an asteroid that fell
Or a dream that you couldn't tell to anyone
Everything that you just couldn't sell
You'll waste away till it falls on you

It’s pointless swan dive
Pointless swan dive
Into your river of thought, your river thought
That you’re damming, damming, damming
And they’re all gonna scratch their back-peddling heads now

A puncture in the sky
I'm peering down at all of yours little lives
How unfortunate they all look now

Fatuous ideas
Off what future will bring
Or what I could bring to it
If only I had been invited

You know we are trying
We are trying however hard
You look at someone else's star
It won't get you very far

You know I am unsure
But aren't we all?
