Veiled

Eyes that are empty As I look in the bottom of the glass The color of sky blue Behind fearful and sad Underneath, a mystery And I don't have a clue What to do... Embers burn and sparkle Into the night quietly waking Neon drawing me nearer The bar room peers as I enter Slipping away in my silence Calling, whispering, through life In the midst of far aways, a social bite Laying upon the ground, knowing once I would've fought Down for the count, yet a breath caught And you just don't seem to understand Everything that I am If you could just see This part of me that hides in me If you could be there but you act like I'm a strangeness to your world and I breathe the thin air Between us ~~Distance~~ Sobering moments Though only my faith remains strong What makes this lonely road so long? Pushing down the pain As I go it alone Then you beg to differ Me and Jimmy B-Alone with my thougts on the weekend The drinks get stiffer Last call, slow dance, romance? Only litarally If you could only see There's a better part of me hiding in me And tonight my eyes are empty as I look at the bottom of my glass It's closing time as I stagger to the sidewalk Taxi driver, silent my ears still ringing from the wah baby and amps I was into and one more night tears fall on my pillow; sultry Tomorrow billowing clouds await from heaven's pleasantries And somehow I need not care that you don't see What I could be If I could feel the part of me again that hides deeply behind me In this silence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Veiled
