Departure.

I left my girl with my troubles, I watched them float away in a champagne bubble.

I left the wall lights on. And a bass line thumping to the same sad song.

I left the ink to dry on paper, it's like history repeating but you get to see it later.

I left my brogues at the door, barefoot running out for somewhere to explore.

Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.

But first I'll thank you very much, for leaving me so out...of...touch.

I took the phone off the hook, and forgot about your voice like once read books.

I took just enough liquor, to tame the fire in my chest to a slowly burning flicker.

I took your picture from it's frame, and watched you burn away in an orange blue flame.

I took the things you made me trade, and cashed them all in for destiny delayed.

Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.

But first I'll thank you very much, for leaving me so out...of...touch.

I pulled the shades from my face, took my eyes from the darkness and put them back in place.

I pulled myself from the ground, looked up at the clock and set the time to now.

I pulled your scent from my shirt, rolling up my sleeves I rubbed my hands in the dirt.

I pulled your memory from my head, to live another day. Yesterday is dead.

Because it's so easily repeated.
But I want more I'm so conceited.
I already know what happens next, so I'll leave now with no regrets.

But you should thank me very much, for leaving you, so out of touch.

Down To Up

Drifting down. Through. Hopeless frowns. A queue. Open skies. Blue. Full of eyes. Who. Keeps them. New. Now condemn. You. Heal cracks in. Glue. Time to grin. Adieu. Time to fall,. Be free,.

Chapter Closed

All it took was that look. And I was caught on your hook. You like the fact I could cook. You read me like a book. But all that is lost. I feel I've paid the cost. It was you I loved the most.
