Dull Flame
John Samaras
In the city
That never sleeps
You’re sitting pretty
Discarded dreams
Lost your number
Forgot your name
In the wake of summer
All is grey
You’ve got me confused
With someone else
When all I can be is myself
Dull like daylight
Mid July
Contrails of vapor
Divide the skies
Forget all that you have learned
In the method you prefer
Gazing blankly without a word
Watch your candle slowly burn
A contribution
For the cause
Of retribution
Hold the applause
I’m the poison
In the fruit
So be careful
Which you choose
Forget all that you have learned
In the method that you prefer
Gazing blankly without a word
Watch your candle slowly burn
