You Make Me Like Charity

You try to feel but you can't wake up

you try to touch but you can't wake up

you're holding eyes and you don't wake up

increase the size and you don't wake up

I do it backwards but I don't wake up

try to reverse but I don't wake up

I sit astride but I still don't wake up

more than a second

when reading the newspaper

I felt the war

I felt her exposed position

I saw myself in the picture

and I

I took a cab there to hold her

I took a plane there to feel what she felt

you make me like charity

instead of paying enough taxes
