I don’t see you anymore
The walls start talking again
“it’s alright, let them come”
I don’t hear your voice anymore
The night is still quiet again
“it’s alright, let it be”
Oh you, young boy
Where are you, why do you have to sink that low?
The boy who keep saying “it’s alright” to me
Nothing but silence now
Guess I have to say it to myself
And the old dance routine at midnight
I put a cigarette, and an hour later, I want another
Sometimes, the bridge between hours is as fragile as that.
Used it anyway…it’s alright
