i sit on the window sill
and gaze out into the night
and gaze out into the night
melting into that distant no-sight
the moon bursts out
from behind the tattered clouds
from behind the tattered clouds
Once there was shock
Once there was pain
Now its just nicotine
Now its just rain
Once there was pain
Now its just nicotine
Now its just rain
Have been soaking in for so long
Now, a point
Where, it can hurt
No more
No more fire blazing
No more comets
tail shimmering
Where, it can hurt
No more
No more fire blazing
No more comets
tail shimmering
A torn leaf
A damp firewood
Esoteric helplessness
Cursory helps
A damp firewood
Esoteric helplessness
Cursory helps
And the eyelids…with a soundless blink
Spun those yarns… without a drop of ink
The starry heaven slowly make way
To dewfall skies
A few unsure treads, circled my heart
A few tremulous steps, fenced the wall
Lying, thinking
Floating, diving
I tried finding a home
a home for me
searching shadows
in hope for the silhouette
A lone light over the hill
Someone living there still
One more night of erosion
One more night of delusion
