It's Never Quiet Enough

The past is shadow

You brighten it with your new car's headlights

It's blanched and shattered

The sidewalk pushing me through the clouded nights

When moonlit nights keep myself quiet

Behind me you cry your eyes out

Your hug's a grip holding every single little bit of myself close

The past is shadow

You brighten it with your new car's headlights

It's blanched and shattered

The sidewalk pushing me through the clouded night

I'm leaving

Looking past the trees

That enclose the house and me

That separate us naturally

Dreaming

I'm looking through the trees

They surround our house with brush

But it was never quiet enough

With every bit in scatter

You listened to your heart

And that's alright

I wish it mattered

The past is shadow

You brighten it with your new car's headlights

It's blanched and shattered

The sidewalk pushing me through the starlit night

Everything is scattered

The sidewalk pushing me through the starlit night
