Another time

This fool of a head
It thinks too much of everything
It dreams of things that’ll never be

It was not fairy dust
It was the neon lights all over the town
They were not stars
Only prying eyes curiously peering down

Spread eagled on a busy road
Dreams busted
As were the bones

Every one saw the tears
Hands came ahead to wipe
No one saw how my
Broken heart did cry

Smog eating at the lungs
Whips cutting rivers on the skin
Sun was ash that day

Clouds were cigarette induced
They made patterns on the arm

Dogs are not pets in this world
They are there to chase

Godless
Loveless
Lightless

Heartbroken
This fool of a head
Still dreams
Dreams of another day

Of yellow sun
And mellow rains
