The Liar
You ask me the time of day
I tell you I don't know
In darkness I'm light years away
The voices come and go
Save me, all my life I've been a liar
Burning bridges in the rain
The crying embryo
I seem so blissfully insane
But still the pain won't go
Save me, all my life I've been a liar
Sacred words the angels wait for me
They'll set me free
But I can see the joke's on me
Babies crying other peoples tears
And in their eyes
They have reflected wasted years
You ask me who I really am
I still say I don't know
The doors have all been tightly slammed
The poison seeds are sown
Save me, all my life I've been a liar
Dying angels falling from above
I've had enough I cannot laugh
The joke's on me
Shattered dreams you cannot realize
Won't sympathize, it's in your eyes
Why can't you see?
Am I the liar?
Tell me who's the liar
Come Back
a quiet ocean in a suit of grey
locations mixed and drifting
our features dim and shifting
I stand and watch from years away
and I see you standing there like a miracle
the parks and bridges and the old school walls
a taste of summer in the cool of the dawn
some bright clothes out of focus
the shops are still and closed up
I'm old enough to know they never wait
then I see you standing there like a miracle
I'm walking through you in these crowded places
you're swimming slowly under all these faces
the sky is going
