ACID TEST

THIS HOUSE DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A HOME. IS IT OCCUPIED?
THIS LIFE IS NOT ONE THAT I OWN. DO I DRAMATISE?
THESE DAYS I THINK I’LL STAY AT HOME BY THE FIRESIDE
JUST LEAVE THE OUTDOORS TO GET ON WHILE I THEORISE

THERE IS NOTHING HERE TO CELEBRATE
SHOULD BE KICKING UP MY HEELS OF LATE
IF IT FITS THEN I’LLWEAR IT
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME I’LL DECLARE IT SHARE IT

I CARVED YOUR NAME OUT SUNNY AND BLUE
I PICTURED SITTING JUST ME AND YOU
AND NO ONE ELSE IS EVER AROUND
THIS IS THE ACID TEST THAT I’VE FOUND

AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN A SINGLE WEEK I AM RUN AGROUND
THERE IS NO WARNING I CAN SEEK I AM ALWAYS FOUND
THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO THIS A FOG APPEARS
WITH A GAPING HOLLOW UNDER MY FEET I DISAPPEAR

THERE IS NOTHING HERE TO STOP ME
I JUST FALL UNTIL IT’S GOT ME
IF IT FITS THEN I’LLWEAR IT
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME I’LL DECLARE IT SHARE IT

I CARVED YOUR NAME OUT SUNNY AND BLUE
I PICTURED SITTING JUST ME AND YOU
AND NO ONE ELSE IS EVER AROUND
THIS IS THE ACID TEST THAT I’VE FOUND

I THINK I NEED TO SHAKE UP WAKE UP FAST
FORGIVE A LITTLE LOW I WON’T LET IT LAST
WITH EVERY LITTLE DAY THAT PASSES
SOMETHING IS FIXING THIS SOMETHING THAT’S BROKEN
THIS CONVERSATION IS NO LONGER TOKEN

I CARVED YOUR NAME OUT SUNNY AND BLUE
I PICTURED SITTING JUST ME AND YOU
AND NO ONE ELSE IS EVER AROUND
THIS IS THE ACID TEST THAT I’VE FOUND
