Phantoms Dissolve in Midair

Please don’t let me stare

Just put me in a corner with enough air

Please no fairytales that anyone cares

Like some guardian angel awaits there,

Please don’t let me stare

As I watch phantoms dissolving in mid-air

While some leftists tells me it’s all fair

While we all are part of this collective nightmare,

Please don’t let me stare

A world of joy and grief we all share

Voices speaking to me out of thin air

You just had to have had that affair,

Please don’t let me stare

Beholding the world from a chair

Knew a sweet girl a long time ago named Claire

Even though my heart is with me my love is over there,

Please don’t let me stare

One foot in reality and another in despair

Moments of clarity seem rare

Wear your heart on your sleeve if you dare,

Please don’t let me stare

Once a great nation whose independence it had to declare

Yet so many fools are unaware

That tear you shed, from the sun’s glare?

Please don’t let me stare

I’m afraid the situation is beyond repair

Is there only time left for us to repair?

For many of you only booze, drugs, and solitaire.
