Solitude for Anything
...doesn't sound like anything

The shoes are parked under the bed
Her sturdy fingers support her head
She pulls the hollow air inside her
It doesn’t feel like Friday
And it doesn’t sound like rain
And it doesn’t feel like this time all the time

The worn out shoes are walking home
Sneaky fingers pick up pennies
The air cuts through her like a knife
It doesn’t feel like anything
And it doesn’t sound like Friday
And it doesn’t feel like this time all the time

Her shoes don’t always end up home
Sometimes she likes that she’s alone
Her favorite things are in her home
Sometimes she likes to be alone
She trades kisses for an hour
But she backs out of the deal
She trades solitude for anything, anything....

Her feet are parked out of her shoes
Lazy fingers lose the pennies
She’s hollow in the air without them
It doesn’t feel like rain
And it doesn’t sound like anything
And it doesn’t feel like this time all the time

Her shoes don’t always end up home
Sometimes she likes that she’s alone
Her favorite things are in her home
Sometimes she likes to be alone
She trades kisses for an hour
But she backs out of the deal
She trades solitude for anything, anything....
