The Kids Are Sick Again

The comforting ache

Of the summer holidays

Pointless days pining

Afternoons whining

The suburbs scream

At passers by

They scream of escape

A mute siren

In wasted light

Hope takes flight

I don't mind losing self-respect

I've done it before and I'll do it again

I'm stifled tonight which is fine

I've done it before and I'll do it again

Billboards evanesce

Under regular beams of light

Toothpaste smiles

Don't seem so bright

Homogenize

Don't revise

I don't mind losing self-respect

I've done it before and I'll do it again

I'm thwarted tonight which is fine

You see I've done it before and I'll do it again

The kids are sick again

Nothing to look forward to

They jumped the cliff again

Future sinks beneath the blue

The kids are sick again

Nothing to look forward to

They jumped the cliff again

Future sinks beneath the blue

The kids are sick again

Nothing to look forward to

They jumped the cliff again

Future sinks beneath the blue

The kids are sick again

Nothing to look forward to
