May Day

I work through all these corners of chaos

One at a time

Unraveling their hold on my lethargy

On my sanity, on my mind

And I'm probably losing fortune

And these butterflies have lost receipts

And my wardrobe that heaves with unworn clothes

Or the bank cards that I've lost down the sofa seats

Like the memories of what I could have been

Fast receding

Oh, May day

May day

Swinging on the green hinge of the year

Oh, May day

May day

The best day to clear out the cupboards

Clear out my head

Put you in storage

Forget that I ever said anything

Ever said anything

Clear it out

Start again

One might say, you're a corner of chaos

In the attic of my mind

And you run like a silent old movie

I've been trying my whole life to rewind

And I feel stuck in this film about someone

And this someone, it isn't me

It's a life, riddled with deceit

And when I try to escape from the screen

I get shoved in the back row

Eating someone else's popcorn far too slowly

Oh, May day

May day

Swinging on the green hinge of the year

Oh, May day

May day

The best day to clear out the cupboards

Clear out my head

Put you in storage

Forget that I ever said anything

Ever said anything

Ever said anything

Ever said anything

Clear it out

And start again
