The light inside left me for a bit
but...
I found it one night when I truly needed it
Lately I have been in the in between
I've felt like diving head first in the deep end
Where no one can see me to hurt me
drown out the surface
drown out my worthless
Then come back up from the bottom down

The sky is bleeding with lust
Fire drips from its cloudy veins
Onto the world below
Cars drive towards the flames
Where they will be judged
With beauty and passion

Seven-thirty is the time for splendor
Power and pain
When the clouds turn pink
And clarity becomes clear

nothing means nothing
it never has been
and some people say
there is no such thing

nothing means nothing
for there are no words
to spell out a sound
that no one has heard

nothing means nothing
the threads are so thin
a hurricane spins
on a butterfly's wing

like sparrows that fall
we all are so small
but nothing means nothing
nothing at all
