Sprig

Fresh
Fresh when sleeping
Meant every other night
Falling asleep for the fifth time
Early in the morning
Falling asleep for the fifth time
Early in the morning

Awake in terror
Words staring back at him
Never to be used
Their hands on hold
So quiet
They could hear each other's thinking, denying
Garner interest
Each other's thinking, denying
Garner interest

Making of life a forged painting
Life's big magnet talk, talking
Making of life a forged painting
Life's big magnet talk, talking

And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
And listeners like you
