A Sinking Ship

Stopping for breath, he surveys the scene
But word-for-word, picture-for-picture it’s all the same
But will it ever change? Next time, he won’t pause for air
Next time, he’ll just pass us by
Believing is seeing and I’m seeing it all

Each pause for breath in his conversation
Reveals yet another side to him
Another breakdown, in, conversation
Another breakdown, in, his concentration
