The Burning Years

These ghosts,you can touch


                                                                  2

Dangerous swords,won't you don't say
How did we break this spell?
No matter,I know that tonight
I'll still not find the fire in your eyes
Last cigarrette of the day
last ash in mouth,this is the last time
since last time
                                                                   3

Oceans sigh in deep emerald sadness
Infinite fool am I
Staring up at the dead,empty Miami skies

All I have is this...notebook and..

Pages crumple
Feelings tumble 
Words to dust
Some God to trust
Stoner's drawl
Loser's crawl
Penunbric smile
Been burning awhile
Lost my line
Lost my "why"
Where'd you go
How can I know
Everythings opposite

Im alive,Im dying
