Lately after dark
I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said

Wandering through my head

There's nothing i can do

To keep from feeling like i blew
The only chance i had to make it better


The shadow on the wall
Is looking down from 10 feet tall
And i wonder what it sees

As i stumble through the streets

To never feel alone

It seemed written down in stone
But now it's all i can do
To try and forget her


40 hours and counting
I could shut my eyes

And sleep here

Warning comes and goes

And i'm tangled in the throes
In the stillness of my room
And the bandage on my wound


My heart becomes a bird
She said freely just a word

And now i'm wishing
That i had never met her


40 hours and counting
I could shut my eyes
And sleep here


People rushing by
Out the corner of my eye

A kaleidoscope of bloom
A mirror broke in two


A thousand little stars
And a million little wars
Scattered out upon the open desert


40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes

And sleep here

A world is set ablaze

By a never ending haze
And you're closer than a tear
I see you ever clear


The rush is in the veins
And there's nothing else to blame

But every minute
Every hour every second


40 hours and counting
I shut my eyes
And sleep here

Shut my eyes and sleep to dream

Lately after dark

I've been wandering through the park
With the angry words you said
Wandering through my head


There's nothing i can do
To keep from feeling like i blew

The only chance i had to make it better
