The Christmas lights can’t shine bright enough
To overcome her pain and the screams inside
Loneliness merging with past replaying ongoing
And the images will not go away with any storm
She tries to stay in the moment, but she still cries
Pleading for answers, kept from her far too...

In Streetlight, His Wet Hair
On the sidewalk standing in the rain
the old man is a wounded dove.
Longish white hair: wet feathers
grounded in a storm. The rain is heavy
and repeats itself, like buckets of water
thrown out of windows.

The old man stands there
holding a memory or a wish.
Under the streetlight
his wet...

Streetlight
Look in the rear view, now I've gotta clear view
Most beautiful landscape I've ever seen
and I've seen 'em around the world baby girl, better believe
No feeling like having you next to me.
I mean it respectfully; I hate the distance
When i'm on the road and you're...

Lone Streetlight
Walking the lone sidewalk with one streetlight.

The only sounds being my thoughts 
And the noises of the void

The pale moonlight shines with light
That the street and I lack

The streetlight flickers

I flicker back

Streetlight
Feel like a prostitute, only used at night

Never appreciated, I don't think its right

People make use of me with little thought at all

Without me they'd be in the dark, could trip or fall

 

Never worry about me, couldn't care if I'm hurting

But! don't they complain...

The Streetlight
You were a child,
without the hindrance
of responsibility
or doubt of what tomorrow
would bring.
A beast on the kickball
field, and yet a whining
baby when the streetlights
went off. Always fighting
sleep like it was the
neighborhood bully. 
You were a clown,
dressed like your 
daddy. Trying to
make your mother 
laugh like he...

The Streetlight
Silent and still sits the streets at night
The darkness swallows all but a light
It stands alone with an eerie glow,
Casting its shadows on the creatures below.
They crawl and burrow,
Seek and Creep,
All while light has gone to sleep.
The force of the night in its silver gown,
While...

Streetlight
Walk about the night
Gaze a cracked streetlight
Flickering uselessly.

Attempting to illuminate
But overall ineffective
As it's far too damaged to work without drastic change.

So it waits for the repairman
To fix all of the problems
That it certainly didn't cause.

But we are that streetlight
Just as we are the repairman
Now we...

Streetlight Starbright
your heart trembles in my hand
as our toes lie in the sand
our eyes meet under the night sky
adoration i can see in your eyes
your breath on my neck
your hands on my chest
hands held under starlight 
smiles last forever tonight 
street lights too bright
sneaking around tonight
you...

A Streetlight In the Dark
Bring it back, take it away, love gone tomorrow can never stay
but you wish so bad, you act so rad, but this new love aint nothin like the one you 
had
I can't believe that this is me, caught behind a cloudy sea
so I swim so...

The Streetlight On My Road
On the downhill road ,
  Where I'm standing,
  Together with the streetlight 
  Beside me 
  In the whisperings of darkness .
  
  I keep on staring at the streetlight,
  Wish you are the streetlights, 
  Which...

STREETLIGHT BUZZ

[Verse 1]
Streetlight buzz like static on the soul
It’s 2 a.m. and I still ain’t whole
Another night, just me and this notebook
And a God I’m not sure I understand
But grace...
She’s the only thing that stays
When the rest walks out
So I keep scribblin’ these half-bent verses
'Cause maybe...
