20th Century Towers (Poem)

Hiya, here is a poem (well it's actually a Death Cab for Cutie song but song's are poems, well at least to me).

So yeah I didn't write it, Ben Gibbard did!

20th Century Towers:

we'll correct collegiate mistakes.

a shower of formal ideals.

completely soused.

the hearts on our sleeves,

as they drowned we could hear them screaming,

"oh, what a tragic way to see our final days."

I attempt to talk up the town:

"the answers are in the arches of the 20th century towers

and in comfortable cars in motion."

and yet it still remains, this incessent refrain:

"you're just like the rest. your restlessness makes you lazy."

keeping busy is just wasting time

and i've wasted what little he gave me.

(all around) i know the conscious choice was crystal clear,

to clean the slate of former years:

when i sang softly in your ear and tied these arms around you.

Check out the song here:

This song is form the album: Stability Ep

You should buy it, amazing EP!
