Vacant as I've found that exceptions too run away
What good are words
When you don't know what is meant?
And what good are memories
Of times we never spent?
What good is ink
When the written cannot be said?
And what good is life
When you wish that you were dead?
Dead
Suburban swings now hang so still since that night
That night, if only
Five days without sunlight
Without sunshine
The walls tend to come alive
Taunt you and your graying flesh
Water will not take the stench away
Shut your mouth now, and say nothing
As your breath dooms the doves to fall limp from the sky
Shut your eyes now, quiet child
As your bar codes are being exposed
To see this breath, this steam
In the December air
To see this look of endless compassion
To lie to you
Cry to you
Die in your arms and I swear this time
For now this shallow grin means nothing Vacant as I've found that exceptions too run away What good are words When you don't know what is meant? And what good are memories Of times we never spent? What good is ink When the written cannot be said? And what good is life When you wish that you were dead? Dead Suburban swings now hang so still since that night That night, if only Five days without sunlight Without sunshine The walls tend to come alive Taunt you and your graying flesh Water will not take the stench away Shut your mouth now, and say nothing As your breath dooms the doves to fall limp from the sky Shut your eyes now, quiet child As your bar codes are being exposed To see this breath, this steam In the December air To see this look of endless compassion To lie to you Cry to you Die in your arms and I swear this time Explain Request ×
