Tragedies in July

Everyone's chattering Nobody's listening Till we run out of things to say Borrowed an anecdote Laughed at a hollow joke Just games of scrabble we all play Am I here are you there, we ask the void Are we even making a noise? And this is how waves crash into seas Stars dash obliviously Our tragedy's a voice without tongue Like a song only whispered not sung Greeks, they found mammoth skulls Said they were giants' eyes Weaving their sweet beautiful lies We found our loneliness Loudest of silences Said this is how we make love Am I here is he there, she asks the void Is he an idea or a boy? And this is how waves crash into seas Stars dash obliviously Our tragedy's a voice without tongue Like a song only whispered not sung Maybe our egos Are saying it's all a hoax Maybe we're strangers, I don't know You're not here I'm not there, the void, she sighs Stop waiting for phantom replies Like water, we're rushing through sand, it damps Then leaving without second glance And this is how waves crash into seas Stars dash obliviously Our tragedy's a voice without tongue Like a song only whispered not sung
