lyrics

This is the last time.
It has to be.
There is more void than object,
and what’s left is the wrong colour.

I look at the stained fabric one last time.
Think of the long walks and blisters,
Joy and pain,
and those sadness tinged moments that come in the quiet times,
when no one expects it.
So they leave you alone.
To be hugged by your clothes.
Held up by your socks.

Your first garish pair,
the first time people complimented your clothing.

They’ve served me well,
but they’re more void than material,
and I should really throw them away.
