Sanction

Bring on salvation, I have a way to find mine
I swallow light
And what if I move, lapsing into failure
In the lowering night, in the lowering night
I had waited for you
Though I was certain
You wouldn’t come back, no
Into the after hours
Smudged my heart for all to see
But it’s so quiet now
Makes it harder to shine
Had a dream about tomorrow
But with nothing more to think about
I fade out
Bring on sedation, I have waited a long time
And dragged myself a long way
There’s a flight to Medellín, twelve hours of drinking gin
Awakened by summer
Sever the ties
That were once unyielding
Packed my money
Under night’s neon curtain
Smudged my heart for all to see
But it’s so quiet now
Makes it harder to shine
Had a dream about tomorrow
But with nothing more to think about
I fade out
