People said 'days end, when nights come'
and the same happens for the morning sun,
But lately I've got them all confused,
I don't know if I'm staring at stars
Or watching the headlights of cars;
I don't know if I'm glancing at the moon
Or whether I'm walking through a zoo.
I've been sitting on fences picketing the news;
And I'm still blind despite all the clues.

In the final moment
Although her eyes weren't open
Her smile was never broken
Just somehow, somewhat missing
And in my fading vision;
I saw her smile return;
Completely embraced by life.

I've witnessed myself drunk before;
When for was used before the word ever,
Where forever could never be severed
And the bottles weren't mixed with tears.
I remember drinking myself silly;
people said 'alcohol removes your fears'
and the same happens for my peers...
But I did not grow the least bit braver
In a hailstorm of battles that could
only ever be won by giving up.

I saw the universe in your eyes,
And I watched the universe burn
Along with everything in it.
People said 'days end, when nights come'
and the same happens for the morning sun...
But for me;
days don't end, nights don't end
The curtain draw was not closer
And though I can be sober,
I was drunk on the starlight;
more than I was sober by the sunlight;
the days don't end, nights don't end
when I have to live without my best friend.
