Cherry

so the sun burns red

like the cherry of

the cigarette you hold

and as the skylight dims

we look at each other

man were getting old

where's my name dressed in lights

where's the future i had planned

whys the self that i've been dreaming of

a different kind of man

now everything i've done without you

has taken me to all dead ends

so guidance make me

one of the few that you call friend

make me your friend

so the sun burns red

but its glory is

beyond my field of sight

and the doubts of past years

haunt me now

maybe they were right

i could use you now

my legs are tired

and this race is way too long

for me

now everything i've done without you

has taken me to all dead ends

so guidance make me

one of the few that you call friend

make me your friend

and so i'm searching

to find you inside myself

what do you look like

your way to far away to tell

and these stepping stones go on and on

i wonder where they end

so many times i thought the answers were

just around the bend

but i passed them by

imagine what i left behind me

cause you left behind me

who is laughing now if only it was me

your tripping wire was far to tight

my ankles cut its clear to me now

that its all up hill from here

on a cobble road with nothing but sharp rocks

and no map to guide the way i'm lost

you never told me it would be this way without you

when i knew you you were ugly

but not like i'm ugly now

so make me pay make me suffer now

like i've never done before

but i wont leave i wont stop

the pounding til i break down the door
