Above My Head

LOU DOILLON

Right above my head
No open skies but ghosts
Of everything that's been done
By everyone before
Is there room for one more?

It's in every step I take
In every smile I make
It's in all I do
Pretend you forget
Take anything to escape
Do you think I ever do?

Now I can barely see where I'm standing
Could you please, get out of my way?

Whatever I say, whatever I do
I think how dare you
You're only the shadow of
What they were
And that's better than you

Her stare, and his over there
That's all I see
Is this good enough?
Is this true enough?
For you? For me?

Now I can barely see where I'm standing
Could you please, get out of my way?

Right above my head
No open skies but ghosts
Of everything that's been done
By everyone before
Is there room for one more?

It's in every step I take
In every smile I make
It's in all I do
Pretend you forget
Take anything to escape
Do you think I ever do?

Now I can barely see where I'm standing
Could you please, get out of my way?
