I was walking down the street where dogs and pigeons' feet stepped
Just another windswept
Beach town, folding up at sundown, call out from the deep
"Try to get some sleep if you can find the time"
Old homes, seem to last forever, shelter from the weather
Sentimental tethered
Ageless, wood and paint and stasis, til one day you're writing
One more tired song of how you deal with change
Twilight, pools reflecting hindsight, even myths are finite,
Human on the inside
Laughter, blooming into bitter sugar in my eyes
Blurring under violet skies
But deep in my chest
I have been blessed
With terror and tests
From you who knew best
Made more and less
Than I ever could have been, ever could have been, ever could have been, than I ever could have been
And I wander through the nighttime, in nighttime, in nighttime, in night til the day
The daytime is burning me, burning my skin, burning my sin, burning my sin and my skin and I cling to this body where I lay
Where I lay
Where I lay
Where I lay
