For all it's worth...

Darling little glimmer
What's coming down your way?
I think you've lost me somewhere left
Of where you used to pray
I see you through a window
You hear me through a door
We see that things get better
Now that we've hit the floor
There's nothing else to keep us
Together as we were
I suppose this is commitment
Sometimes I think I hate it
It's a blood oath often wasted
On people I could do without
I know you're swimming in your doubt
Whats to come is bigger than
This past I put my future in

I'm standing waiting hoping laying
Sluggish days are the slowest jobs
There's nothing else I have to offer
Just a halfhearted hopeful promise

Screaming in a field of naked concepts never coming
Stillborn in their inspiration
Could this be what I've created?
This life I felt I had to give
Has dissapated
This atmosphere
Is eating all I used to know
This screen is the brightest thing I know exists
Refridgorator lights and ultraviolet rights
And a name I used to answer to
Wrapped around my wrist

Split second sanity
Garage band fans hum over me

And darling girl you're all I want
You're everything I've learned to be
I can see us clearly dear
And all we were and all I fear
Of loosing you forever, kid
Our future is the only one
I'll ever truly see

And I think you can't ever go
But you're so far away just now
I'll wait for your return
You're a priveleged always granted
Never earned

And darling girl I'll wait for you
Cause I know you're worth the while
I'll spend wandring lonly streets
With a lying somber smile
I'll know it in the morning
Just before I really wake
I know we've both got more to give
Than this absence has to take


Author notes

This is kinda about me... I feel a little disconnected from the creative aspect of myself lately. Actually, I feel VERY disconnected. But I like the way this turned out.
