The Light & the Glass

Slowly the pen touches paper
In the guidance of the words that you write
Memories roll in of the things you once did
And who you had shared them with
Is somebody thinking of youDid I bother telling you this
With the words that cross teeth and jump lips
A poor choice of words in wanting to tell you anything
But words don't come with ease
They're forever my hurtWould it really matter if you were to count the days Left with your hands
Your focus secure and the loves you left well
Smiles staged in photographs here until
You....you left the light on
There's a chance I might have tripped girl
You were there to hold onIgnoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
Kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother
I'll lay awake for a while
I'll leave the light on a whileBut you couldn't last a lifetime
Caught between here and the days of it
Carving her name across your arm
With every wish it's hit or miss her
I told you so
I measure distance in lines
Departing the rest of my lifeBut you, you, you, you had better things to do
But you, you, you, you had better things to do
Liar x24Ignoring the words of your obnoxious little brother
Kill or be killed spilled the words from your mother
I'll lay awake for a while
I'll leave the light on a whileYou couldn't last a lifetime
Caught between here and the days of it
Carving her name across your arm
With every wish it's hit or miss her
I told you so
I measure distance in lines
Departing the rest of my lifeIf you get put to sleep, like an old dog you're better off If you get put to sleep...
I've been cautious with the words I extend
Allow this year before the world starts to endYour father's dead, he passed in his sleep
And I woke to the sounds of her crying
Your father's dead, he passed in his sleep
And I woke to the sounds of her crying
Your father's dead, he passed in his sleep
And I woke to the sounds of her crying
Your father's dead, he passed in his sleepPray for us all
(Pray for us all)
