Jubilee
John Samaras
It’s just an empty promise
The one you couldn’t keep
It’s quite the occupation
For such a busy bee
Somewhat non-complacent
And not quite how it seems
A train of expectations
Slowly losing steam
You wanted to make sure
And avoid a big mistake
Slowing down to a crawl
Until you finally cave
You locked away your motives
And threw away the key
It’s awfully poetic
Suspending disbelief
So try and make the best with
This life of secrecy
The air is so electric
On this jubilee
You wanted to make sure
And avoid a big mistake
Slowing down to a crawl
Until you finally cave
Minds erase through the day
The past that you won’t reject
The truth’s always underway
Peering through the shadows
