Take Cover From The Cold

It's a shame you don't know what you're running from,

All the things you did that can't be undone.

I hope you learn what it's like to hurt who cares about you,

When all they wanted of you, was to pull through.

 

It's the decision you chose that made things this way,

The feelings you had, that you left astray.

I hope you feel the cold of the void,

But know that not everything in the end was destroyed.

And The Floodgates Closed

All the floodgates closed,

And that was your decision.

All the feelings that ever were went with them.

Every tear from the basin was locked away.

Because if it's tears you want,

You won't find them here.

I still think you have potential,

But that's locked away too.

 And you don't have the key.

You can close doors.

But be warned:

Some doors lock themselves once they've shut.

Down The Open Road

Carried my broken heart,

Across the busy street,

Nobody stopped,

I wouldn't have either.

Yeah I really thought,

Things would've been different.

This time around,

I thought you were special.

I guess it was too much,

To put my heart in you,

And I thought we'd go somewhere,

But I guess it wasn't true.

Yeah it's gonna be tough,

To not believe what I used to,

I'm sure I'll be fine,

If it's only for a while.

There's still the odd pain,

Like a spike through my chest,

But nothing I can't deal with,

I've done it all before.

Stone Hearts

My adversities liquify,

The tide comes in,

 And I die.

My adversities solidify,

There's no eyes in the strangers,

Passing us by.

What's left of this world,

After everything shatters?

What's left of my mind,

Does the end even matter?

When the damage is real,

And we both know the cost,

With the words said I feel,

All that we've lost.

Office Hours

The last one out turns off the lights, and all life has left the room.

It's the sound of the office in the earliest hours of the morning.

The backup lights hum their tune, the same one as they've been humming all day,

even though they know nobody is listening.

And still they keep out the dark with their florescent stare,

And will do so until they die.  

The breathing of the fans compels the dust to dance through the air,

Until it finally settles on the top of the cabinet, 
To sleep undisturbed for days.

Even without the people,
Even without the sunlight,

The office carries on.
