tapes

I thought I'd find you

Waiting there for me

Erasing tapes and photographs of everything I see

I try to fit in circles

But with no consistency

I'm left to believe

There's no place here for me

I stare at the moon

I listen to the trees

They tell me old stories about

How things used to be

I ask them why I'm different

They say not to worry

The stars are bright

You're here tonight

And there's no place you'd rather be

If I'm not here tomorrow

Don't waste your time with goodbyes

I'll never see the morning light

And I'm sure as hell not alive
