And even if I wanted to

Slip into the parade

Should its appeal be revealed

It's beyond me anyway

White light on white clinic walls

Pure reflected nothing

Wrecked by one too many storms

Borderlines dissolving

 

I know I said I was okay

 

To be here and not be here

Try it on for size

Distance tempers any fear

Just this inner life

 

I know I said I was okay

Needing help and pushing help away

 

The absence of desire is

Proving so seductive

No one can reach in for me

I choose what proves destructive

 

I know I said I was okay

Needing help and pushing help away

 

Watching the play (just watching the play)

Just watching the play (watching the play)
