A Tiny White Dot

It's the end of the world

The best laid plans collapse into a tiny white dot

When I was a girl

My favourite thing

Was turning off the television

Hypnotized arms across the dying screen

The rustle electricity controlling me

It's the end of the world

Fixtures and fittings collapse into a tiny white dot

Promises and lies dissolving fast

And all the floor is lava now

All of the cracks you avoided are chasms now

The static electricity inside your skin

At the end of the world

The untold secrets growing in your throat

The untreatable cancer in your lungs

The unborn child, the unexploded bomb

The unasked questions trembling on your tongue

Unspeakable acts and everlasting love all melting into one

It's the end of the world

Order and chaos collapse into a tiny white dot
