Down the Road Apiece

Downtown dead weight
Hurled like a heavy piece of irony
Specks of sometimes riding shotgun 
Blankets of stars that never sleep

Upheaval and missions of monsters
World gone wrong messages
Edging ever closer to weary
Sometimes a great notion

Readiness and tangible freedom
Waxing moons breathing shallow
Deliveries to empty doorsteps
Time again and again

Forward the motion in prayer
Forlorn and high like a kite
Innocence dressed immaculate
Down the road apiece
