The lights shone from the sky
Bright and in awe and I don’t know why
As the days rolled into weeks
And the weeks into years
And I get by on just hiding my tears
And the best part of me
Doesn’t say a thing
She is just ancient
And a bird on the wing
And if she could
Then she would sing
I loved and so
I gave up everything

There’s a void no ocean can quell
There’s an emptiness nothing can quiet
There’s a silence deep in the darkness
And I just want to try it
Because all of the nights of these days
Comes down to the end of the line
And when it comes to the edge of the road
I just am not fine
Because it all just is a facade
All just an elaborate ruse
All just a dance done out into space
Because I’ve something to prove
So don’t tell me to keep my voice down
Just because it isn’t PC
You must take the good along with the bad
You promised to have all of me
