Phantoms Tonight, I'm wanting to set my weary mind at ease and tonight, I'm gonna vy for my soul's release oh please, a drop to drink could be my emotional crutch trickle a little, throw me a nickle, to place a call, 'cause tonight I feel so much a harvest of happiness never bountiful in the backseat of a car ah, but a social life sure looks beautiful from afar I just saw something impossible thought I saw you standing right here before me but you've been gone since the moon was full and these days, the sky is blank, no light to see the location of the better half of me What I saw of you now was just a phantom, 'cause you ran away from me at lightspeed leaving a trail behind leaving me behind to try and bandage the places where I bleed You might regret leaving now, stay, oh I wish you would and you might remember that we were once something so good say you could brighten my haunted week with just a phonecall smile a bit for the love that was it: everything I was hoping for, into strong arms I'd fall a spring light of such fragile contentment has broken across the bow of the ship running aground upon resentment so what to do now? 'Cause I just saw something impossible thought I saw you standing right here in front of me but you've been gone and I've been repairing the hull these days, so I can set sail and travel the sea to find the missing better half of me What I saw of you now was just a phantom everything is in slow motion since you're gone you've left a trail behind I want to follow it to find your version of the story, be it right or wrong Hate, Greed & Ignorance: Weapons of Mass Destruction |

what in the world is this beauty doing way down here, it's back up to the top, so others can share the wealth of this read. Intensely inspiring, as it devoured me...and will probably touch my heart as long as I live. Excellent write... |
