Puncture

It's useless to say That you only scratch the surface Your surificial face Bears the mark of everything Every undertaking overthrown Your way is to wait for the next time And you should have seen your face As they banished you to the 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 of thought That you're damming, damming, damaging And they're all gonna scratch their back-peddling heads now A puncture in the sky I'm peering down at all of your little lives How unfortunate they all look now Fatuous ideas Of 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? --- Puncture - Dot Hacker
