Suburban Asphalt
My bed hasn't seen me since the young summer sun Watched our cruel blood drive ahead of us With its hold on our wrists, cold steel and clenched Two years of warm moons behind us And I've made deep prints in the grey silt Standing south of the cold stream, bleeding wild Like the lonely weathered street that should have taken me
I won't believe I've slept Because the bed I've kept is that driven pavement Droning lullabies that can't bring me back And each solstice's sun another red reminder Of the youth we should have had But gave away for the pain and the struggle of finding it on our own
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And maybe the streets aren't paved anymore With the dying days of our childhood I'll waste the sunlight tracing this pavement For an answer, for some feeling I almost knew
But there's no answer from the braille of worn asphalt There's no response from the lines where our bones broke With my ear to the floor, I'll listen for a heartbeat But the only sound is wheels spinning free
Overturned, eyes closed, stained red Our home is dead
