Counterfeit Gallery - Honig

Talk to me / when all the others won’t

Walk with me / when all the others don’t

With your head against my chest

We stroll and watch the counterfeits

We like having them around

A constant reminder of the shifting middle

To be blunt / there was never enough to go round

Till you reappeared

Let me reach for the light

Don’t let it be the oncoming tide

When i need to be right i walk the way home

Let me reach for the light

Don’t let it be the oncoming tide

Cause the original is a counterfeit too

Talk to me

Stop staring at the walls in the gallery

Walk with me

And all the loneliness will disappear

Been tracing steps, depicting ways

Waving arms around the place i can’t escape

And in the opening display

We’re learning all about the weight the artist felt

To be blunt / there was never enough to go round

Till you reappeared

Let me reach for the light

Don’t let it be the oncoming tide

When i need to be right i walk the way home

Let me reach for the light

Don’t let it be the oncoming tide

Cause the original is a counterfeit too

And where were you when i have tried to call

Hanging in the gallery on the wall

You are folding arms and stretching legs

A nicotine stain on the carpet

Let me reach for the light

Don’t let it be the oncoming tide

When i need to be right i walk the way home

With everything surrounding me

I can’t tell where my head’s supposed to be

The letters are just falling from the page
