Traffic

Traffic lights and broken heights
Asylum for all my lies
Chasing tail lights through the night
Distant strangers meet our eyes

Hazy television lives
Telephone lines across my mind
Radio silence from what survives
You're all lost for me to find

safe?

safe is knowing i’ll be up all night
safe adorns my room with silent sound and flashing light
safe is summer air
and winter bright

but nights are short
and the pattern will stop
and the summer will turn
to winter dark

i am not safe

i am not safe

If only I could breathe
If only I could think
Time flies by
And like a stone, I'll sink

Like a stone I'll sink
And like a leaf I'll fall
And like a leaf caught by the wind
I'll rise above it all

A gray horizon far
A leaf torn from its tree
I feel sick
And the world won't stop for me
