Streetlight Shines

All those things I wanted to say, in that light of your eyes. The sound of glass against a counter murders the thought.
The looking glass never suited me, I'd rather stare blind eyed. Are those words still scrawled down your cheeks?
Dim light hits an iris. A flutter tells me I'm alive. Streetlight shines, I know where I am. Streetlight shines, I know where I am.
Cold concrete was the kindest pillow I ever knew. Trying to shake the thoughts of a world speeding by, I saw a life passing by. I swear I heard your voice.
But it was just the words written on the wall. Give me a pen and I will converse. Try to tell you what I meant when I sighed. Try to tell you what I meant when I watched you walk on by.
As those eyes turn away, a flutter tells me where I fall. Under the streetlight I know. Under the streetlight I'm home.
Try to walk my heart is weak. Try to stand my knees are weak.
Put me on that bench, stare at those stars. Try to envision what's to come. It's not so bad when you dream, escape what it is you really see.

Things happen so fast, some things change every day. I can't keep it under control. Under control, under control. I try every day to fix my problems. I don't know what is the solution. What is the god damn solution? I could try to not do this anymore.
That's when I found out this is not the problem.
Things feel too stable, things feel too morose. Another step forward is another step back. Everything I have tried I have failed. You are quick to point that out. You are quick to judge. But I never saw you show your cards.
I don't wanna fix this god damn problem.
I can't take your face in the crowd. I can't take your face face to face. I can't your words too fuckin' serious. It's just like chasing a white rabbit. I don't wanna end up with my head in a hole.
You are the god damn problem.
