So It Stands

Twilight comes every day To show me how it divides Not what I see but just the way So why am I so surprised? If you gotta say something Better make it so it stands You don't know How long you can Streetlights fight against the fade But only the weak survive They trickle up in dense array Waiting 'til night arrives If you gotta say something Better make it so it stands You don't know How long you can If the world means nothing Why obey its weak demands? You can't make me understand Don't know what to do with The time I'm given When the melody comes through Am I driving or driven? Sunrise flirting from the East Snuffling out the lights They whisper out in sweet relief The dawn wins against the night And I know it's alright
