I walk through a dark night
With heavy air
I can just barely see the city lights
Through old brick buildings
And sycamore trees
I know this place so well
But now everything looks so different
Just a little after dusk
I feel so infinitesimal
I'm suffocated by twilight
That I can barely recognize myself
In the distance I hear faint conversation
But yet I feel as if I'm the only one
You really are alone
Even if you are in company of people
You don't even know
Cars pass on the street
I pay no mind
Because it's somewhere lost
With the stars
That I see when I look up
The only time I'm ever confident enough
To look up
And they shine and sparkle
And they speak to me
But I quickly focus my gaze back down to the ground
Because I don't want to be mistaken
For a juvenile wandering around
I slow my pace
And I pick up when I start to feel drops
On my skin
I never realized how fast clouds could form
When you're having a good time
Maybe it's good I didn't bring an umbrella
Maybe this is what I get
For taking nature
For granted

PoetryWhen lyrics fail, poetry prevails and poetry stems from the lyrics that each song tells. They exist here and serve as flashbacks and memories, being in the past and present and future all in one.
