Separation

Respect lost in the dark hours of the night Out of practice but still I hear you preach Getting further apart we have lost all sight It's not simply about what's wrong or right Understanding always seems out of reach Respect lost in the dark hours of the night What you don't realize it's not out of spite Hard lessons of life we truly cannot teach Getting further apart we have lost all sight Normalcy the thing that you cling to so tight Everything I say just an old worn out speech Respect lost in the dark hours of the night Only a shadow reflects in night's dim light No strength left this life continues to leech Getting further apart we have lost all sight A cliché reminder everything will be alright Words wasted that make me want to screech Respect lost in the dark hours of the night Getting further apart we have lost all sight
