Retrospect

I left the city with a tear my eye

Memories left behind me like a hole in the sky

Sold my home and said farewell to my friends

Couldn’t decipher the beginning or end

I left the girl with the expensive taste

The one who made me part of the human race

I got treated to a dose of retrospect

A kick in the face to keep my shit in check

Lights out, fading

Letting go is hard but holding on kills me

I would push and pull in to eternity

I took those pills that turn me in to a ghost

Unable to cry but unable to show

That I came here as a boy and leave as a man

won’t even begin to try and understand

How love and loss and spending time on your own

Make you run away and find a new home

Lights out, fading
