These Days - The Zolas

It started with a sandcastle

Today washed up my tomorrow

But one night the mark was made

Seared in your flesh with canola oil

These days are piling up

Piling up like bricks

Walls blocking off the sun

I miss you

Oh call it what you like

My shaky memory

We knew it from the top

We’re deep sea

On every bus I take there’s an empty seat

There’s an empty stare in every streetlamp

And the city nights are full of colours

Colours dormant in the day

Trashy light in the sky and a rainbow of greys

The one thing that silence brings

These empty-house evenings

My dreams are haunted by

Ghostly pages that I can’t fill
