Vicarious Lover - Voices

I’m not

Myself

I am the actor

Waiting

The cues

Unknown direction

From unknown

Directors

Actions that haunt

The invisible audience

See me, In the reflection

As I saw you

This distance means nothing

It has to be nothing

Final performance

Redefine the actions

This distance means nothing

It has to be nothing

Final performance

Redefine the actions

Come back as a flower

Come back as a rose

See me, In the reflection

As I saw you

Through the ageless void

Through the camera eye

We are all the same

We are all the same

I know and you know

This is rehearsed

This is rehearsed

He travels by night,

journeys without destination in cold buses and cold patrons without features

He wonders if indeed they are anything like him without identity or soul,

berift of purpose,

condemned to exist in the small hours.

Not real people at all,

rats and maggots incapable of keeping the rhythm of humanity,

sent alone to survive outside the hive.

Distinct from the dealers, pimps, burglars and filth,

at least they posess a crass purpose,

fighting for urban surival amongst themselves.

Contaminating Lambeth street corners under pestilential night skies they

retreat among dawn light bleeds through clouds and the city stirs from zombie.
