What's that silence inside me that expands into the dark? With the traffic lights all changing for no one any more. The karaoke laughter tumbling out the door. My eyes well with contemplation of the pleasures I endure.
Holding to the edge of night
My deepest true desires interrupted with the dawn. A bar tab, a parking ticket pull me back down from beyond. I have searched for her in morning but she's quite and austere. And as the moon floats above her, she unfastens all the fear.
Holding to the edge of night
The smell of pine through the air vents, I know its it's there during the day. But as the sun sets around me it strips the other scents away. I am a legend of this land here I am a keeper of this life. So when I die, however that is, I'll just say evening was my prize.
