Hard Light Lyrics

Band of Susans

what can i do i look for you i lose my way again the sheets are damp the darkness spreads like a stain on the bed i walk the floor i close the door i lock myself up again i find a way to get along for one more day i'll forgive you and i'll forget you outside a car alarm is wailing incessantly someone is slumped against the stairs looking up at me the sirens call i hit the wall i tie myself down again i want to fly away the silent birds observe as the traffic light changes idly i want for the street machine to sweep you back inside of me i jerk awake from the distant isle of sleep dawn cracks there's a hard light in place of your dreaming face i thought you'd always be here i thought i'd always have you near
