Empty hallway, quiet rooms
Candles flicker, Devouring gloom
Melancholy television glow, throwing shadows hither and yon
sit and watch the figures prance, laugh at scripted jokes
Perhaps then the minds eye will close
On the heels of nothing comes a voice
soft and sweet with a tiny bit of macho too
Click of the remote, a car crawls lazily by
Yes, life goes on, one last wink and the television sleeps
Music may soothe an aching heart
mechanical blood begins to flow
A melody swims through ear buds
Memories etch themselves in every lyric
Tiny button bring a new song
no, days gone by frolic in this one too
skip this one too
Third times the charm, this one might be safe
no, that was a mistake
Hidden just beyond the intro were those blue eyes
I would give anything to forget
