Daylight is fading like an awkward smile
Sun hides behind the west coast
I thought, I thought I knew
I had everything figured out
'Til night came and I lost my shadow
Blended with moonlight and broken glass
Ten hours of panic will follow
I watch the trees look black
My red shirt in it's dirty grey
Strange things just won't stop appearing!
Give me day, give me light
These days, those days
I was taught to bottle my emptiness
Deal with my quarter-life angst by painting pictures
Tip of my pencil describes what I might have drawn
Had my left brain and right hand been in contact
Broken section is now, read on
Then all at once, the sky started raining
Soaked to the bone, stopped!
People of nighttime, came out of hiding
One of them turned my way
She said: "I'd like to tell you
Some things I wished I'd known
When I was young like you
It won't take a second
But it could save you years
Years passed like seconds out here"
I was enthralled with the way that
She spoke so softly
For a lady of her finesse and personal hygiene
She had cuts, bruises, scrapes, scratches
Hair tangled everywhere
She spoke in a way that demanded my attention
You're at the top of your game
You're in control of your life
Pearl of the oyster
The cream of the (?)
What I would give for that, I hope you never know
So live your life!
Don't sleep through the night!
Life's worth a living!
You gotta start living it right!
So live your life!
Don't sleep through the day!
Dreams are for living!
You gotta stop letting them die!
