Smallish World
We came here to find out why
We took small breaths and we waited
We listened but there was nothing to learn
We took your papers and watched them burn
There’s nothing you can’t tell us
There’s nothing you can’t say
There’s a word you can’t spell
And it’s a word you cannot say
Truth
Smallish world
Smallish pride
If you can’t face it
Don’t run and hide
Don’t end today
What you begin tomorrow
Don’t even try
To justify such empty sorrow
Your sympathy is no part of me
And shoulders are there to cry on
And single beds are there for me
And everyone else to sleep on
Whilst you just lie there….
