Lonely Shadow Cast
Flashing neon signs
Dark pavement left behind
But more to go
I know, I know
I've darkness on the mind
Absorbed in mind's cafe
I take a seat to say,
“This can't be mine
This dream I find
Is taken course dismay”
Now gather in good cheer
Partake in lifeless beer
Glasses empty
Patrons gone
Myself I've come to fear
But how this came to pass
I cannot say at last
I turn to go
But now I know
I can't reshape my past
Walk on in dream I do
But lifeless forms ensue
A mother gone
A father too
But empty streets pursue
I've taken now the task
To live this dream at last
Without my wish
Or to my hope
A lonely shadow cast
