Cold morning,
Cigarette smoke.
Dancing rain,
On the front porch

I inhale that cloud of,
Someone else’s dreams.

Cold heart,
Lights for the show.
Curtains fall,
Over the front row.

I play the part but,
Is it really me?

Pacing halls,
In this dead house.
Night falls,
But I’m awake now.

Dawn will break again
For you darling.
Light will crash the sky
For you darling.
Just close your eyes.
Until the morning
Dawn will break for you.

Full silence
Unbidden respect.
Smashed plates
Might be the suspect.

I clench my hands and
Ache for the noise.

My voice
It talks to you now.
Where did you hide,
All of your pained doubt?

The answers are so frosty
In this air.

A winning bell,
Who’s it toll for?
Did we forget
Who to run from?

Dawn will break again
For you darling.
Light will crash the sky
For you darling.
Just close your eyes.
Until the morning
Dawn will break for you….
