Etchasketch

from The Creaky Step by Alex George

/

lyrics

I saw a photo of you somewhere. You were never one for photos, and I could see you shift and squirm while your friends turned into blurs, and I tried to meet your gaze through the megapixels. Through the megapixels.

This house doesn't feel the same; the paint fumes spiral up and down the stairs, and in their path, I search for snacks, distractions, just someone to talk to.

I learned all my facts and instantly forgot them. They used to fill my ears, but I can hear clearly now, and I can hear your laugh smashing through the smokescreen. Pop punk hour is over, so now what?

In this room of unwanted things and childhood cliches, the wind distorts the silence, the way it did when we lay there, hidden away from the world like a broken plastic tea set.
(I don't know much about God but we made a great cage for him. And I know that you'll soon erase me. You're like an etchasketch. I will never shake you clean.)
