Vacant Stare - Emma Pollock

Oh, it’s no fun describing situations

I could never be in

How can I dive from over 15 metres high?

When I can’t even swim?

Don’t go back in

I’ve heard that song you sing

And I do agree

That it’s the best film of the year

Now I’m wondering just why I can’t recognise

My very own lies

Cause I’m just looking for someone to tell the truth to

Not a vacant stare without a single point of view

Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?

You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving

Oh, it’s the silence that will surely kill you

If you don’t press engage

And then the space you’re craving just engulfs you

When you don’t turn the page

Don’t turn away

I’ve done that thing you say

Don’t start to yawn

Cause I love that place at dawn too

Now I’m wondering just why I can’t recognise

My very own lies

Cause I’m just looking for someone to tell the truth to

Not a vacant stare without a single point of view

Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?

You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving

Stop making me talk today

Just want to walk away

I’m done looking for parts to play

Not listening to you

I’ll stare at anything on the wall

Cause it won’t talk back at all

I’ll run at anyone else’s call

Not living through you

Cause I’m just looking for someone to tell the truth to

Not a vacant stare without a single point of view

Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?

You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving
