In the Dark

Midnight's just another whisper Fingers trace the glass then slip Words hang heavy in the silence Falling like the weight of sleep Thoughts unravel like loose threads Each one pulling at the seams Familiar faces blur and bend Like reflections in a dream Fragments of forgotten places Catch the corners of my mind Moments linger just a second Then dissolve like breath in time Thoughts unravel like loose threads Each one pulling at the seams Familiar faces blur and bend Like reflections in a dream Eyes wide open in the twilight Searching for a glimpse of truth But it dances just beyond reach Fading in the light of youth Thoughts unravel like loose threads Each one pulling at the seams Familiar faces blur and bend Like reflections in a dream Stillness hums a tune unheard Notes that drift but never land Caught between the here and there Where nothing stays and all expands
