Into the Orange Ember City Lights

Into the Orange Ember Lights

I can’t sleep

No matter how many sheep

My heart is a raw nerve

With each thrumming beat

I want to go outside

Take my feet

Hit the street

I want to run away

Sink into the nothingness

I want to melt into those orange ember city lights

I want to grow wings

Take flight

I want to run away

Pain be gone

Turn to old news

Yesterday lose your sway

I want to feel free

Be free

But I’m a mime in a box

My screams can’t even hit the ceiling

My paper thin love gone from all the peeling

I’m beating at the walls but no one is coming

My heart is in a free fall

I’m hurting and aching

My soul plummeting

Loved her but was mistaken

I guess that’s so, I don’t know

I’m just hurting

She’s probably smiling

As this cut in my heart keeps on squirting

And all this pain keeps on piling

To the midnight street I take my beat

With two pairs of shoes to hide my feet

I the secret path seek

Escaping into the nothing

Melting into the orange ember lights

In the city façade

I whisper my midnight plights
