I was wrong,

This emptiness is starting to settle

Like volcanic ash from the sky

And the white sky heads east

To give space to the darkening blue;

A fire burns orange in the distance

The faded bedroom light glows stronger

As the Friday night looms longer

Over the head of an unsuspecting girl

Bats flash before my eyes

As if theyre escaping some sort of peripheral vision;

The night is brighter than youd think for me too

One caught in the line of my eye

And startled and flew into the fence

I guess this is how i too flee from your arms

When things started to make less sense

Now the sky is navy blue

But the fire burns just as bright

As you

My restless thoughts take flight

I song to the burning embers from atop my roof

And the flames grow taller

Dancing to the rhythm of mymy mywords

It dies down and i am cold again

Stars like pimples in the sky

I want to be stronger than strong again

I want to be fucking tungsten
