Ellipsis - Drab Majesty

When we were all too shy

I looked inside the paper note in my pocket

A handmade design, your note of hope aside

I watched your face crystalise as I dropped it

You’d know that I had read every word

You say you love

Or you want to say you need to tell me something

You didn’t have to wait if you wanted to know my response

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time

Would you answer a call when the hours are dark?

Knowing it was time to deliver a message?

I can’t tell from the signs we’re giving in our lines

Whittling our time, a symphony of vacancy

The wasted day is aging me

With nothing really to say

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

To push a button, rewrite lies with an undo

And I watch you write

You’re still saying nothing

And I watch you write

You’re still saying nothing

And I watch you write

You’re still saying nothing

Then I watch you write

You’re still saying nothing

Nothing at all

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

Two modern minds won’t say what they want to

To push a button in real time, with an undo

To push a button in real time, with an undo

To push a button in real time, with an undo
