Medley

The urgency is certainly present with the ever-changing tone of voice.

Saw it burn away, from yesterday.
I thought by now, I'd seen everything.

I only write when I hurt
I only sing when it burns
I lose control, and I can't learn.
I block it out, but it's too hard.
You used to be my shining star.
But now I just can't get too far.

Away from you, and everything we knew.
I fought to keep it, I fought to never change.
The times we all messed up, came around because
I fought so hard to keep it, I fought to stop the change.

The time moves so slowly, when I can't speak to you.
And I feel, so hellishly lonely, when I'm not near you.
I know I'm not so far away, but it feels like I am.
And I know that it's hard not to change, but maybe we can.

I'll pray that sleep sweeps in soon.
Maybe tomorrow I'll sleep until noon.
Anything I can do to keep my world from coming unglued.
I'll stand here, looking at the wall, thinking
How I came to fall, from the throne that I built

Spoken whispers, a text or two
Suddenly, it comes unscrewed.
Passed the bill, took the time.
Righted the wrongs, lost my mind.
Now that I can't see the future.
It's like I'm lost, a lonely creature.
So I'll quickly light this fire.
And they'll label you and me a liar.
I'll pray and hope, but it won't matter.
As my heart will surely shatter.
So this medley of the things to be.
Is something you will never see.
