The Song of George Bailey (Demo) c. 2017

it’s surely a wonderful life

it starts with a grey
and ends with a nameless face
lies in a wait
for a weakened state of mind

my eyes are fixed on the blinds
the scattered light in the room
cast so undefined

giving rise to a trifling weakness
with the guise of a phantom’s pretense
suggesting the question
oh why do we exist

so slow
this train of thought
down
before these thoughts can derail
mary
i’m sliding down

It starts with a grey
and ends with a nameless face
comes like a thief in the night
without leaving a trace

and there’s one facet
this clandestine messenger
has failed to realize

see we’re living confined by a paradigm
and the second hand speaks of the lost time

what the grey doesn’t tell
and it knows full well
is that this mind is mine

so slow
this train of thought
down
before these thoughts can derail
mary,
i’m sliding down

clarence
you’ve got your wings now

clarence
you’ve got your wings

clarence,
you’ve got your wings now
