A Work of Fiction

Lauren Mayberry

Vicious Creature


Summertime
Spent bending truths and bodies
Whispers in hotel lobbies
Perfect crime
Things you said
That first caught my attention
Were laced with such pretension
But I didn't see it then

What if all I want is a work of fiction?
A way to run away from my own ambition
I know denial's an odd addiction
I kept playing the game
Nostalgia is such a vicious creature
Another way to say that you fear the future
I see it now as a different picture
Fading frame by frame

So naive
I fretted over smile lines
Scraped meanings out of star signs
Treading time
"We'll be fine"
Became my benediction
A sacred premonition
To make you sweet again

What if all I want is a work of fiction?
A way to run away from my own ambition
I know denial's an odd addiction
I kept playing the game
Nostalgia is such a vicious creature
Another way to say that you fear the future
I see it now as a different picture
Fading frame by frame

Silver tongue
Best left unsung
I use these days as a method of correction
For how I lived when I was young
Compositor: Lauren Mayberry & Ethan Gruska
