A Writer

I am a writer
My life is this songbook
I am a writer
I am a writer
I swear by this
I am a writer
I said
I am a writer
These are no words I just writ

I will try harder
Harder to wonder
I will try harder
To unravel the mystery
I will try harder
To find the truth in all
These little deaths
The touch of a little death
I will try harder

My hands are clean today
Ink stains wash away
I am clean today
I washed you away yesterday
Ink stains wash away
Words are wind
Pages crumble away
I washed you away
One day memory will fade away

I am a writer
You are now fiction
I am a writer
You are my fiction
I am a writer
One day you'll be scribbled away
Your memory will crumble and fade

This is my world
I'll write what I please
It's my right to shape it
I am a writer
This is my fiction

You are a character
You played your part
But I didn't write you
I don't connect and I don't feel you
My fiction is empty
I can't grasp reality
Characters and shadows
Days are yesterday
Life is tomorrow
I died every yesterday
Maybe not this next day

I am a writer
I am a writer
A writer of fiction
I am a writer
My fiction is blurry
Collections of colour
I am a writer
A writer if ends
A writer of games
I am a writer
A writer of shadows

I wonder
I am a writer
Of products
Of my sleep
I wander in my gaze
I am a writer
Of yesterday
And tomorrow
I am a writer
I am a writer
Dying
A little death every day
Some release every day
I am a writer
I am
I am
