Binging and smoking
With foolish prance
Instant combustion
Meandering across barrier lines
In less than sixty seconds
Smashing, cringing and choking
Euphoric blunder
Six feet under

(CHORUS)
Why did you need to leave?
You know that you are all that I've got,
Explain, is it because of who I am?
Or because of the way I am not?

I know I get a little crazy sometimes,
I do not have strength or drive,
The fire burning for you inside
Is tucked away but alive.
Sometimes I am small-minded,
Focused on me to a fault,
But I am lost without you next to me,
Our fairytale came to a halt.

(CHORUS)

Each star burns out, I wish on them,
From below on Earth
Not to be taken for granted anymore,
And feel you recognize my worth.
You remain blind to my beauty,
I am fragile to you and that is all,
My mind is stronger than you think,
Head harder than a concrete wall.

(CHORUS)

Please tell me what I did wrong,
To make you go after so long.

And some might say
I've lost my way
But who are they
To judge
When numbers rule
Our nights and days
A life of Midas' touch

And all of those
Who quantify
All the good and woe
Will be too vain to realize
They are their own foe

And some might say
I've lost my way
A sentence I'd forgive
But it's the dreamer, not society
Who, the way forward, shall cleave

Once a song we yelled until we couldn’t
Is now just a sentence with an instrument
We whisper from different paths.

Gallons of gas later
Leaves a tune who’s remnants
Is a melody I hum from my memory

it rumbles and crackles
roaring with majestic furor
consumptive and commanding  
powerful through the most dire of days
constant and driving through those of peace
the fire in my belly demands a feast

The seat next to mine is empty.

No one is singing the songs back to me.

No one is interrupting my calculated playlist with bad old songs.

The comments on my driving that used to bother me,
I now miss.

There are no shoe marks on the dashboard,
no trace of adventure.

The over excitement about the view that used to make me roll my eyes isn't there.

I miss these silly things that I took for granted.
