Nothing Ever Happens

Page turn

Clock still

Sun warm

Heart chill Nothing ever happens here

Nothing

ever happens Sitting by the river with my shoes in grass Same

blue sky and the same time pass Book got words but no

pictures back

How am I supposed to dream like that?

Sister talking, but I drift away

Clouds look bored and the flowers look gray I need a door,

need a strange mistake Need one weird thing just to shake this

place

Tick-tock, slow clock World got stuck on a soft lock Eyes half

shut but my thoughts won’t stop Something in me wants the floor

to drop What if the trees knew secrets?

What if the wind said run?

What if the road went sideways?

What if the dream begun?

Nothing ever happens

Till it does, till it does Quiet little afternoon

Turning into dust

Nothing ever happens

Then the sky starts cracking

One blink, one breath Now the whole world’s laughing

I want strange I want wild I want lost For a little

while I want wrong

I want new

I want a door

I can fall through

Daisies nod like they know my name

River keeps whispering, play the game

Sunlight bends in a crooked frame Maybe normal is the thing to

blame I hear feet in the leaves go tap Hear a watch

go click-clack-clack Something white moves quick like that And my whole little

life looks flat Stand up,

heart jump Boredom breaks when the bass drum bumps

One small step and the world comes undone Maybe trouble is the

start of fun If I stay,

I stay the same If I chase,

I lose my name If I fall,

I find the flame

If I wake, I wake up changed

Nothing ever happens

Till it does, till it does Quiet little

afternoon Turning into dust Nothing ever happens Then the sky starts cracking

One blink, one breath Now the whole world’s laughing Page turn Clock

still

White blur Downhill

Nothing ever happens here

Till something finally does
