Claire

Pray to the simple machines

That do not rely on belief

The softness of steam and of gears

Their energy is surely pure

The kindness of engines is not in you

Claire you do it perfectly

The water is all on it's own

It goes where it wants to go

The telephone can't dry it up

And sleeplessness won't make it slow

If opposites are the best chance of hope

Claire you do it perfectly

The line straight to defeat is based upon belief

That's how we are sustained

On pretty girls make graves

Sweetly you punctuate weakness

Claire you do it perfectly

The highway it helps to forget

The straightness it doesn't betray

It lies on in where it lies

It's courtesy is it exists

That's how we are sustained

On pretty girls make graves

The line straight to defeat is based upon belief

Confirmed and catalogued

Your lies

Claire you do it perfectly
