Douse the Lights

Let’s not close our eyes
Right away
Maybe if we just lay here then
We’ll both find a way to stay awake
Let’s not open our eyes
Today
Maybe if it stays nice and dark inside
We won’t have to take it away
Words we stole and used
Have come back hauntingly
We freeze to let light through
It leaves us wanting nothing but sleep
But sun and sky remain
They put us in our place
When it hurts to stand and find our feet
We know to cast the line out
Glancing over shoulders
Gets us only older
Let’s be glad it didn’t last
Time has come to lock up
Douse the lights and walk out
I won’t forget the time we had

The Worm Has Turned

Forget the name
Forget the face
Forget the place
You used to love
Clean break, clean slate
Wipe it away
Every last trace
You’re tired of
Start over today
Outgrow yesterday
All along the way
You think you grow but don’t
Nothing weighs you down
Your green season
Never wanes or pales into reason
Words work little wonders of treason
There’s no use in listening
Turning, turning over
Much too much to shoulder
Barely alive
We carry it lightly
Turning, turning over
Slow, we’re going nowhere
Stop from turning over
On your feet, soldier

Darkroom

On our best behavior for our hour after hour chatter
Different conversation, same old awkward feeling, always laughter
Root and branch are binding
Hunting on your own isn’t finding, so it goes
Take the wheel and lead the way
I want something but don’t know how to say it
We’re too late to know this place, it’s too early for you to relate
The least way out is familiar
Other times I’ve come this way I made the same mistake by buying time, so I know
Like a ghost I just enter
But my pulse pounds like a hammer
Splitting rails frozen to the center
I don’t live here anymore
Don’t have me over

Time Already Served

This stuck with me all these fucking years and so did you
Easy to play, easy to lose
Thank you for the time already served, thank you
For having what it took to see me through
Thank you
For standing by me
That cold November day
When dead and buried were
My head and heart but we
Were always smiling
Not lying, but to see
The end and the beginning bravely
This stuck with me all these fucking years and so did you
Easy to play, easy to lose
Thank you for the time already served, thank you
For having what it took to see me through
