incompleteness
Lily is dead
I'm in the middle of a sentence
But not like a paragraph
I haven't got a thesis but
Conclusions are piling up fast
Even with a stranger
Lily is dead
Evening with a stranger
Remembering what you said
I've started reading chapter three
It's a book that just won't close
This lamb belongs the middle of a line
I don't know how poetry goes
(chorus)
A film that says the story's fine
I've forgotten how we began
The song starting every last verse
When I try to do it I can
(chorus)
I was writing the middle
Of a story just like this
But somehow I forgot
The taste of your last kiss
Lily is dead
