Streetlight Tragedy

Streetlight Tragedy

A Poem by Lauren Burch
"

Lucid dreams are fun

"
Something in your voice makes me want to scream
out loud and I don't know why
I, I, I'm going out of my head
Crazy 'cause you're not in my bed
Just another immature daydream
With an overactive sex drive running this scene

Your name over my name
Carved into a lampost
Twilight lit for everyone to see
And why didn't you see my looking out the window
As you passed by oh so blindly?

I'm still waiting here
(echo)Overactive sex drive
I'm still waiting here
(echo) Running this scene

Bloody were those teardrops
Dripping from chameleon scales
I, I, I'm writing a tragedy
Not for your sake
But for hearts lost worldwide
These bubbles hold messages
But some princes get lost anyways

Your name over my name
Carved into a lampost
Twilight lit for everyone to see
And why didn't you see me looking out the window
As you passed by oh so blindly?

I'm still singing here
(echo) Overactive sex drive
I'm still sing sing singing here
(echo) Running this scene

Mistaken for a love story,
These never end well
All I do is say your name over and over and over........

I'm still singing (waiting baby) here
(echo)overactive sex drive drive drive on baby
Still singing with my sould on wires
(echo) Running out of this scene

Your name over my name
Carved into a lamp post
Twilight lit for everyone to see
And why didn't you see me looking out the window
As you passed by oh so blindly

I'm still running this scene

Author's Note

Lauren Burch
this song has been swimming around in my head all day so i decided to get the words straight and write them down today. I promise you this is not how i feel right now. I'm perfectly happy with my boyfriend lol. he's amazing. But somehow these are the words that always come out lyrically.

song notes (no pun intended)
-meant for either a guy or a girl singing, but preferrably a guy who can hit some high notes and hold some out as well
-key change before the chorus is sang for the last time. a little higher than before
-echos are that phone sounding voice, same vocalist.
-Instruments: bass, two guitars, drumset, cello, keyboard, and... tada!!! viola!!
