If I’d listened to you yesterday, if I said yes today, would you still fly away?
In the evening as the sun goes down in my lonely town I take your pictures down
Daytime’s never what it seems, nighttime’s filled with sleepless dreams
I scream
Lying naked here I feel no pain, these drops of acid rain taste bittersweet again
As I wander through your empty rooms beneath your watery moon, you seal me in my tomb
Daytimes never take their course, nighttimes filled with my remorse
I’m hoarse
Tell me how I can be sure
Let me know the ways that I can be the one you dream of
Endings come to those who seek them most to those with laughing ghosts who drink their hollow toasts
Seeking remedies for bitter ills, I choke on rancid pills but I am cancered still
Daytimes never satisfy, nighttimes filled with long goodbyes
I cry
