The Day Passed and the Sun Went Down

Outside the river of brake lights travels home in straight lines

While your mind dwells on your fault lines, vivid in the red light

All of the dreams you've tried to unremember float downstream

While the shuffling feet of restless trouble echos in the street

Have I made a mistake?

And if so, is it too late for me to change?

The laugh lines formed in your past lives curl into a sad smile

Why you sigh and try to explain why you've been hiding from sight

But none of the words that you can muster suffice to explain

And it only gets worse with every wasted night and slept-through day

But it feels so good to be lost

And looking up at the dark

Won't it be so sad if it is you that lets you down

I thought as the day passed and the sun went down
