Fallout
May 29, 2014
Always afraid of what a fight could do
Always falling apart at every seam
Though it’s foolish to think lowly of you
I can’t find a truth that I can believe
Cigarette smoke and a half empty beer
Filtered, patchy light from Venetian blinds
A family war is all that I can hear
And shattered glass is all that I can find
Dark shadows become a source of refuge
Void promises become rhythms to me
Don’t know if I can handle your deluge
But I stay in case I can find some peace
How I want to answer when you call out
But I know I can’t handle the fallout
