You saw it all

looked with open eyes and just drove on

you saw it all, you didn't tell a soul.

You heard it all

through the holes that were drilled on the side of your skull

you heard it all, your mind is scorched with fire.

and now your dreams turn into nightmares.

you see yourself as a stranger in the angry night.

Did you fall from dismay?

Trip over a rock on the old dirt road

you pat yourself down

wipe off the dust of shame

so now you sleep again meeting eye and eye and eye and hand in hand.

Its hard to explain

lost the urgency to wanna try

you stay for a week

or move in for a lifetime.

because it's all the same these days

layers of steel masks up on your shelves.
