Relentless Fours

Why are your clothes scattered on the garden, when the taxi is waiting?
Why are your eyes dark-hooded and forlorn?
Their light is diminished, a jade so rare fading jaded
How can you call yourself an actress, when you cannot get your act together?
How can you say you know tragedy, when you are yet to meet her?
You’ll drive all night but won’t get there
With vim, determined just to suffer… because everyone loves a breakdown
Everyone loves a breakdown
Go easier on me
Sulpher, burning amber, driving under golden twilight
Rising, sleeping, walking, never waking, fast asleep
Bathing low in shallow streams of consciousness and dreaming
You know we ever only want relentless fours and break beats
There’s a hung over girl in bed, her head hits relentless fours
Her heart is an offbeat high hat, the body composes you don’t even know it
Dance to your pulse tonight
The body composes you don’t even know it
We only want relentless fours
