Super 8

You hug your knees and pivot slowly
Back and forth in a hole in the ground
Your eyes so clear but fixed on nothing
Mouth wide open makes no sound

And you’re lonely 
But you’re only on super 8
You’re lonely
But you’re only on film

You scrape your knee and call for mother
Climb a tree to hoots and cheers
You glimpse the past 
In shards that flicker
You see your future all too clear

And you’re lonely 
But you’re only on super 8
You’re lonely
But you’re only on film
You’re lonely
Just unfortunately obsolete
You’re lonely 
But you’re only on film

And you’re lonely 
But you’re only on super 8
You’re lonely
But you’re only on film
You’re lonely
Just unfortunately obsolete
You’re lonely 
But you’re only on film
