Expiration Date

Expiration Date By Kevin Robey February 20, 2014 Cold fears leaving me dry No where left for me to hide Can't seem to find a reason why Those times you didn't take my side Check my expiration date My body sold too long ago There's no point for you to wait Forget me in the waste below It's the best of fates for me Among debris of yesterday A judges iron pen decree That I was meant to live this way I find the book of tired lies Sold to me when I was young Full of dreams not realized No air remains to fill my lungs Streaks of hope still pierce the dark Sharper than edges of my knives To live again I'll need that spark Release the fire that burns me alive Can't you see three decades here? Uncertainty these days remains No self-entitled promises near Of future plans marked with stains My skin still scarred by yesterday Delay the sun I'll stay away Fill in the blanks between the rays To find a light I won't betray
