lyrics

“stay, won't you just stay? please don't leave me fighting off the shadows while you're away." day after day, going through the motions, swimming in caffeine, barely awake. i listen for her breathing coming through the tiny wireless speaker. headlights flicker fast against the black tarmac, then interstate 95, and i have never felt so alive as when we kiss goodnight. and the lights turn amethyst. it hits me like a fist. I am now a stranger in this world. the lights burn amethyst. the smiles curl dangerous. but i will keep my promise to my girl. in the crowd I am allowed to celebrate a fiction. facts just tether me to the ground. in surround, this brilliant sound. counting down the kick drum heartbeats left until I drown. the lives we build, their walls divide and separate those trapped inside. but not me. no, not tonight. just leave me to my own devices, i will thrive in my own crisis. my hands have come untied.
