Eyes open to the vacuous black in the dark of a windowless bedroom The blurry unknown date and the smile across my face Are singing out loud like a siren The sun shrank and scattered The daylight fades away each time the same None of this matters If these few nights could stay I'd carry your words to my grave Redemption in a long morning road A mirror to put past in gray and yellow The love I harbored died; now I collect the open sky I'm a calloused heart resurrected The night we reached the sky Still stays with me like the smile that I'd find When we kissed and I felt like I tasted the air for the first time I thought I could melt away A specter in the bareness of the day Like the fortune that this gambler would trade For one moment on a quiet winter Sunday
