The night for instance took its toll
I realized though my eyes were set solid in this haze
That soon reality would spiral around me in a daze

Collected thoughts are thrown up in my face
Ruling the final win in this love we call a case
I cant see the light, its blinding me eyes
And when it stings, so do the lies
And when I fall, I come calling your name
And when you don't answer it feels just the same

I got this pain you see
Runs through every part of me
When I cant hear the voice that destroys and toys
With my fears
Steers the tension right through the light
In the unending passion fight
Yet no one takes the blame
Once again I find myself calling your name

The day for instance took its toll
I realized though my heart was set solid in this heat
Fascinated in the concrete beat that builds it steam around
In a daze, lays au natural in his mind
Is this a sign? Fabulous undertones that made its entrance and exit
All in a short period of time.

Only took a few words
Only took a few buttons pushed
A few dollars spent
To prove the words you meant

And to that. I lay it to rest
