from here you don't look real there is only so much you can ask one person to feel before they snap they don't look back cars circle outside and in my mind you're still out there trying to hide, but i can see you're running on empty if i could realize with all your little dreams inside where you might be would you wait for me? around this bleeding cul-de-sac your phantom walks and doubles back made new i would wait for you the fog is thick tonight i still remember how you looked when you walked up into the light and said please no i remember your glow and ten thousand broken souls come out from windows, sewers, water spouts and call it's a long way to fall but i am trapped inside our room and if you don't make your entrance soon we're through i would wait for you the fog is thick tonight i see your spirit smoking, leaning underneath the streetlight and i call it's a long way to fall and your spirit sends a message as it stands there luminescent and on fire heart's desire and maybe thirty miles away your body starts to rot away i care i put you there but right now your spirit starts to lean and i see all the inbetweens it means and i understand no one has a right to walk these midnight streets where once we talked as strangers in a strange land and no one else will ever know the shattered beauty of your glow and so i take a final view there's no one else i've ever loved the lost souls break the sky above and i i would wait for you the fog is thick tonight i see your spirit smoking, leaning underneath the streetlight and i call it's a long way to fall

i went to bed drowning and woke up coughing i've been having these dreams more often i've drifted out further than love can save the sun rises and sets again on the grave went out of the house and breathed in the air hot smell of sulfur but i don't care i've come to return the gifts that you gave the sun rises and sets again on the grave sat out the storm in the basement that night the dark god told me my eyes were shining white he's not my lover and i'm not his slave the sun rises and sets again on the grave i start a small fire just to watch it burn out i stuff a rag into the rain spout i go into the bathroom, cut myself while i shave the sun rises and sets again on the grave
