TWO MINUTES AFTER

Two minutes after the bomb
The choking silence lingers on
Broken dreams are blown away
The fallout saved for a rainy day

Two minutes after my dream
My eyes are melting I can't see
The room is spinning - that I feel
Into obscurity I reel

Did U guess that I would spin
So comfortably, so easily
So together
Now I'm mesmerised
By voices from the other side
Compelled forever

Two minutes after I fade
My shadow holding centre stage
Just when U thought I'd disappear
The vortex putrefies then clears

Did U think that I'd adjust
So happily, so maniacally
So clever
Now I'm tantalised
I'm energised I find my eyes
To search forever

Two minutes after, two minutes after
Two minutes to long
Two minutes after, two minutes after
Two minutes too long
