Intentions

When I was young I often said I'd die alone
an optimist with nothing left but a heart made stone
and oh it made me see things through blue shades
it made me someone I hate
so with a tarnished soul and a bruised ego I left state
to the open plains in search of a sense of belonging
and there you found me worn, tired, and hungry
I was starving for your company
now here we lie, our breath in the night, staring at constellations
your hand in mine, our legs intertwined, we laid out our intentions
but I know soon this will pass
and I'll end up alone again..

harsh words said
a shiner for it
seeing shades of blue
holes in this
home where my
hopes all fell through
and they all say I have your eyes
but I think I'll use mine
to see things through
and not burn up my youth
on things that won't fit in my casket
Your gold Buick
and gaudy mansion
caught up with you
a wife and daughter
a good life squandered
a son longing for the truth
and they all say I have your eyes
but I think I'll use mine to see things through
not burn up my youth
on things that won't fit in my casket
or lay down beside me
years have rolled by
the girls have stopped crying
my son is on the way
I don't forgive you
but I found my truth
I know I'll be a better man

Settling

the sun is shining in
warming up your side of the bed
and the dog is barking to go out
but I can't seem to come around
I've got nowhere to be
and that's fine by me
because oh darlin',
lately I've been feeling so melancholy
now the dust is settling
on the shelves that once held your things
and our burning love
is just ashes scattered across the hearth
I've got nowhere to be
and that's fine by me
because oh Darlin'
lately I've been feeling so melancholy
