geometric lines
kept him
on the straight and narrow
no bleed
he worked his pen
like a diamond faceter
bridgit saved his life
kept warm
by chiaroscuro
his art
thrown in a skip
by some harried councilmen
unprotected by love
hailey was a rich kid
she never knew what she needed
but when he came with solutions
she always put him down, put him down, put him down
geodesic fires
kept him
on the straight and narrow
no need
to mark his friends
on a chinese calendar
solitary shy
kept warm
by chiaroscuro
his heart
held in the grip
of a pattern's frequency
unprotected by love
hailey was a rich kid
she never knew what she needed
but when he came with solutions
she'd always put'em down, put'em down, put'em down
georgie was a shy boy
georgie was a shy boy
he only drew with a felt-tip
only drew with a felt-tip
he lived his life as a metaphor
and they would shoot it down, shoot it down, shoot it down
i am certain life's something to prize
we are highly evolved
we're endangered
yet loosely defined
in this sock sorting, job-ticking, game-clicking mundanity
if we keep it in check
it's a salve for humanity
hailey was a rich kid
she never knew what she needed
never knew what she needed
but when he came with solutions
she'd always put'em down, put'em down, put'em down
georgie was a shy boy
georgie was a shy boy
he only drew with a felt-tip
he only drew with a felt-tip
he lived his life as a metaphor
he lived his life as a metaphor
and they would shoot it down, shoot it down, shoot it down
