Perpetually

Nine

the night is here
so is my heart
i wonder what it will take
to tear it apart

let's see how many stars
will stay with me
when i'm done
with my misery

time isn't the problem
neither is the oncoming rain
maybe all that matters
is how much i can take the pain

i really don't know
what i'm trying to do
maybe i just want
to get closer to you

maybe it's because
you aren't here
maybe that's why
this brings me no fear

i know you're good
you always have been
it's just been too long
and the world's still mean
