Drifting deeper into this September dust It’s been a thousand nights of wide open eyes Waking up to sounds of December dreams Your hands shaking in this frail wind As you try to steady your heart beat To match the stagnancy of these cold encounters But the little things hurt too much And the little thoughts dissolve into your atmosphere Faster then the rain on your skin Drifting deep into these November nights A thousand days of rehearsing the right words to say When all the words you knew too well are too big to house in these hours you dwell in So you sink into this mud made of spring Running from a winter that craves your honesty Your reflections sit here in this fractured mirror Waiting for you to break this inner silence
