Sunset
It doesn't always have to be a sunset
Sometimes the sun just needs to come down
It doesn't always have to be chemical desire
Sometimes it's just two deaf, blind bodies
Colliding in the dark with no conclusion
It doesn't have to be logical
Sometimes you've gotta aim at the sun
With a steady finger on the trigger of the water gun
And pull
It's not always about success
In fact, it's never about success
They lit a million candles
Over the crash site of Icarus
And every good man has a corner of his heart
Devoted to the Sylvia's of this world
It doesn't always have to be a holiday
Sometimes screaming is enough
It doesn't always have to be an island retreat
Sometimes it's just an empty train carriage
To sit and read with trembling hands
Over an easy magazine
It doesn't always have to be difficult
Sometimes love feels like dying in your sleep
At others, it's your window reflection
In a strange new town
It doesn't always have to be a sunset
Sometimes colour is rinsed by cloud
It doesn't have to be poignant, or fair -
Sometimes the sun just needs to
Come down
