Buried

from The Synesthete by Joe Adhemar

lyrics

I’m a smuggler of the melody
That bled upon the ivory
My head upon mahogany
To get framed against your art
The vacuum from derision
So anxious is the memory
In a town that’s full of weasels
With rust within their hearts

Life was never grand
And No one ever cared
Nothing ever shined so bright
The moment you broke your stare
Cos you didn’t patent sadness
Though your poetry was sublime
You just sucked out all the beauty
And buried it deep along with mine

Those small town hand me downers
Convinced they knew it all
Who staked their precious future
Upon a man about to fall
The note upon on that mixing desk
That stopped the plans you made
You mapped out all the misery
As your star began to fade

Life was never grand
And No one ever cared
Nothing ever shined so bright
The moment you broke your stare
Cos you didn’t patent sadness
Though your poetry was sublime
You just sucked out all the beauty
And buried it deep along with mine

Surrounded by your brambles
All your berries black and eaten
Your Garage Band’s a shambles
And your pupil’s truly beaten
And he scrawled upon your text books
Hanging hooks where they belonged
Three decades of misadventure
So that no one hears the song

Life was never grand
And No one ever cared
Nothing ever shined so bright
The moment you broke your stare
Cos you didn’t patent sadness
Though your poetry was sublime
You just sucked out all the beauty
And buried it deep along with mine
