Film changes
As our LIFE rearranges
As it
RIPS
Into pieces
And we MOVE
All the boxes
Filled with
DREAMS
And lost wishes
Filled with BOOKS
And old dishes
Down the
STAIRS
To containers
We are Through
A no brainer
As we
WATCH
Friends make silent bets
Say
BYE
To our favorite pets
Say
BYE
To the empty walls
(Backing track happy home sounds kids laughing dinner talk etc)
My BELLY aches as I recall
The
PROMISE you made to me
A Home and a family
CUT
And ACTION
Now its only
DIRT
and some garbage bags
a SHIRT and some cleaning rags
We SUCK up the grime and dust
We SIFT through respect and trust
CUT
Silence.,and ACTION
TEARS
And yet no more doubts
We are THROUGH
I feel so wrung out
No FIGHT
As it sickers in
This is a
LOSERS game
Where no one wins
The PRICE
Is too high to pay
Just close your eyes
And walk away
CUT
HOLD
QUIET ON SET
OK
ACTION!
WHY
Does this hurt so much
Empty Hearts
No human touch
GONE
Gone forever more
NO GOING BACK
I close the door
ALONE
You are on the phone
Business to take care of, love
Can you get that bag of trash thanks hon.
CUT
That was a wrap
