Is Anyone There? - Daphne Willis

One day falls into the next*

How do you set up yours

Fractions of the month add up

So calculate your scores

Weekend, wash and separate your time with all your clothes

Set the clock back

Set the moments up again

Like dominos

Is it all right?

Is it all fair?

Sometimes it seems to me like no one seems to care

All of the energy we spend to feel connected to something somewhere

When it’s all fallen down

Is anyone there

One, it’s done, onto the next

It happens everyday

Where you end up in the end

Depends on how you play

Lines all winding, grinding into others as they go

Effort feeds momentum

And it can stop

If it gets too slow

Is it all right?

Is it all fair?

Sometimes it seems to me like no one seems to care

All of the energy we spend to feel connected to something somewhere

When it’s all fallen down

Is anyone there

It’s too late to ask questions

All the selections have all been made

It’s too late for a chance

You knew in advance how this was played

Is it all right?

Is it all fair?

Sometimes it seems to me like no one seems to care

All of the energy we spend to feel connected to something somewhere

When it’s all fallen down

Is anyone there
