Elevator

Single by Brendan BonsackThe elevator wants to talk Beyond your destination It's been listening To everything we have to say Number 10 is breaking up Number 4 is so in love They miss their dog so much In Number 68 Number 99 forgot The birthday for her brother Number 30 is still hiding The illness from his mother The elevator wants to talk But only knows the words For up and down Floor and ground If there is fire Please do not use Number 1 travels to The rooftop every day 17 takes vegetables To 5 and 88 27 has a lot Of passion over trains And was so lonely till they found That 40 has the same 13 has a symphony She's humming all the time 14 wants to hum along But is really very shy 209 only goes Outside before the light Worry beads in fingers And mumbling all the ride The elevator wants to talk But only knows the words For up and down Floor and ground If there is fire Please do not use 70 lights up a smoke Always apologising The voices change The floors remain And the rents keep rising For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/elevator© Brendan Bonsack 2025

Selling the Ashes

Single by Brendan BonsackFourteen thousand steps ago I ran into a neighbour Their hearing is on Wednesday Their mother has the cancer A chat bot told them If you put a frog in boiling water That it's better for the tadpoles For the warm will grow them taller They're copying the books And then burning the books And then they're Selling us the ashes Once upon a time, you know I knew a story came From the heart of an artist (or ghost-written by their lover) My neighbour tells me They were up all night with GP Chatters They think it might be sentient It seems to know them better Than anyone they've ever been Or lain with altogether I feel so old, a box under my bed Stuffed full with letters They're copying the books And then burning the books And then they're Selling us the ashes Monday, Tuesday disappear My neighbour can't be found Take the kittens and the passwords They said, if things go down Fourteen million steps ago I'd have told a different story But all previous instructions Always can ignore me They're copying the books And then burning the books And then I think they must be selling us The ashes of our words Dressed up as water, jump Like frogs, it's just warm Enough for swimmingFor notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/selling-the-ashes© Brendan Bonsack 2025

June

Single by Brendan BonsackHer glistening eyes as round as the moon Extending to my mouth a spoon of mango chutney The joyous whole of a day in June on a tongue-tip Oh how the body surely is a work of magic Blood orange Missed Calls Falling for the love of the fear Of falling She is turning and she is saying: Do you now what's wrong with you? Absolutely nothing The glistening moon as round as her eyes When a love too big for one body it slips into disguises I am tied at the tongue-tip, an actor forgetting all his lines And how surprising, this old déjà vu tonight Blood orange Missed Calls Falling for the love of the fear Of falling She is turning and she is saying: Do you now what's wrong with you? Absolutely nothingFor notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/june© Brendan Bonsack 2025

Carl Sagan Says

Single by Brendan BonsackA Bunsen Burner removed my eyebrow In fourth form science To this day, there's a corner That never grows back Carl Sagan says Matter is composed Chiefly of nothing The universe is cold and empty And wants to kill you This morning A person I'd never met Picked me a straggly Bunch of flowers To give to my friend For their birthday Carl Sagan says Matter is composed Chiefly of nothing The universe is cold and empty And wants to kill you I hugged another human Briefly transgressing The local laws It was sunshiny and novel I could feel my Empty spaces closing in Carl Sagan says Matter is composed Chiefly of nothing The universe is cold And wants to kill you Unless it wants to make you Over and overFor notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/carl-sagan-says© Brendan Bonsack 2025
