No Shadows

Out in the distance

Scream at the stars

No one to listen

When it gets dark

She could run all night

But not enough to sleep

Covered in amber

Should it be there?

Does she remember

The smoke in the air?

She could run and hide

But who would care to seek?

Filling her journals

But where did the words go?

Whispering echoes

The secrets the world knows

When was the last time

You let the sunlight

Tear through those tired eyes?

It’s time to go

When was the last time

You let the sunlight

Tear through those tired eyes?

It’s time to go

No shadows left to hold

Catch her attention

Take in the view

Carelessly missing

When it felt new

See the years go fast

But days are dragging by

Middle of nowhere

Nothing to prove

Falling is faster

Than learning to move

No one’s looking back

When she’s been left behind

Filling her journals

But where did the words go?

Whispering echoes

The secrets the world knows

When was the last time

You let the sunlight

Tear through those tired eyes?

It’s time to go

When was the last time

You let the sunlight

Tear through those tired eyes?

It’s time to go

No shadows left to hold

Cruel is the color of morning

Wake in a bed that you hate that you made

Voices invade without warning

Show me a way, we’ll find a way

When was the last time

You let the sunlight

Tear through those tired eyes?

It’s time to go

No shadows left to hold
