Watching Headlights

 

Driving alone with twisted senses

Stars barely shine through our filth

The hate has become invisible fences

With not nearly enough guilt

That is someone passing me by

Their name unknown to me

A life as alive as my own

But living as a mystery

 

Once again I’m watching headlights

Paranoid and all alone

Will this be my final fallout?

Paranoid and all alone

 

Seeing from my corner view

Between the lines of written law

Will I not discover you?

I can’t believe what I just saw

Living here has changed my world

My mind, my heart, my place, my name

Drive away from boiling failure

Tomorrow night is only the same

One day the sun will return

I will find my heart’s true home

The stars will shine clear and free

Onto the Earth for which I shall roam
