07 Road

Empty cars driving by and nobody cares
All eyes transfixed by the glare of oncoming traffic
In the shadow of streetlights, and sleepless office blocks
We’re caught in the loop
Each road seems
The same as the last

Give me a reason to change the world
Sat here in the silence, of my self-dying thoughts
As rain keeps on pouring, on the windscreen again
But this chosen today / Is just another tomorrow
Screened in advance

Its life after life on the journey to home
Worn out radio tunes blare out their bubble-gum pop
Seek out a phone-in, to touch someone’s reality
I’m swimming so deep
In the sea of what
This might have been

And still I sit here deep freezing my soul
Hidden where the christmas lights don’t shine
I gather my clothes, and walk into the distance
Forgot what I was saying
Words into the air
That nobody saw
