Gift of Apollo - NightHawk lyrics

[Verse 1: Gift of Apollo] I'm asleep I keep walking I swear these streets are talking I'm a lost night hawk And I'm sleeping off my coffin Dark traces the faces Of others Cars parked places I just missed the oasis But I can still taste this My fears are faceless My hopes have no basis If you find yourself in the same place Embrace it and play this Deep breaths Glowing street lights I'm alone But for tonight that's alright Closed eyes lead my mind And a body with it I keep hearing the past But I'm fast to dismiss it Doorways where The old stale air sits still I walk through the ones I used to Just to get my fill Mist shadows in the form of trees; Whispering gods words just to answer the breeze Signs of life light the skyline like a long sigh Pulled tight across the sky like a string of lights The moon blooms from behind the clouds Spilling light in the places once filled by the crowds So quiet now, no longer loud, all the lights out The stars are my lights now Cobblestone thrones Thrown left and right Click-clack right back As I walk through the night Each step breathing life Straight into the pavement Crying out, speaking truth With each step-raised statement [Verse 2: Gift of Apollo] Two people walking Immersed in soft talking Too aloft in love To see the stir that I'm causing Pausing at a crosswalk Ignoring the sign And enjoying destroying the law Because of the time Clock tower tocks the hour But no one hears No one's here but me The seconds might as well be years Sleep stepping I keep forgetting To let my mind find me; It will always be far behind me Ego slipping in bits Into the blackness Each step becoming a ghost Of my past as it crashes And my toes let the Hurt go, dripping from my shoes Flowing slowly Trying not to let this control me Shrugging years off my shoulders Tears rolling from my eyes I realize I feel a whole Lot older Life became a Cold-faced soldier And sold all my gold For an empty place-holder I forget all these Pains and defeats Content to trust The lead of my feet Bent on walking through these Empty streets That become my long lost home Walking to the soft beat singing off the stone [Verse 3: Gift of Apollo] Speaking to these streets Keeping pace with the sky's light I swear I must have dreampt Damn near half of my life Faded with the light Becoming indistinguishable Extinguished in the mix And long past fixable Same steps Different surroundings Same lake But with my feet tied up I gave up And I'm drowning No sound All around me What a shame no one found me My feet just keep pounding Bouncing rhythms and Words back and forth Like a forest of truth That needs a fire to take it's course I reach higher Until I find what I'm looking for My soul source This wisdom is what I was born for So much stored up So much to let loose So little time To try to untie The knot in this noose I put on these shoes And cruise While the knot feels loose It's not something I choose It's just that I've got a lot to lose I refuse to live On the bottom of live Cutting deals to survive On the sharp side of a knife I'm thinking if I strive hard I'll arrive in that yard Picket fence, credit card A wife, and a nice car; Yup; That's my American Dream Melting at my feet And rising up like steam But it doesn't mean a Damn thing to try to Plan the landing so long before The launch pad is even standing
