The Darkness of Nowhere

In the menacing darkness of nowhere
Along the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
A shadow waits impatiently for
A crying light that never beams

Within the sreaming Wall of Silence
Where muted echo is forever more
And a poet's song goes unheard
By the sound of tears left upon the floor

The ties that bind can tear you apart
Retreating to the nether world of dreams
A forsaken place where I do dwell
For nothing is what it ever seems
