No Innocent Born
Nowhere a home, a song of loss.
A last embrace before contemplating his last place
He boards the late train, tail lights chase the years
Blue light fade to green, a final grace no played out scenes
A gift she gives to pass away from here
Nowhere left to turn, no one left to care
Looking for a sign of someone, she’s not there
Shadows from a past fade to nowhere
Ahead empty dreams and vacant stares
Abandons his last stand, waves crashing into sand
He built a castle, cased a piece of land
No cause to defend, memory wasting, present in the end
No thoughts or feelings comprehend
Scraps along the road, nowhere is a home
He takes one last crack before he goes
Half a smile floating on the floor
No return, no innocent born
At a crossroad
Forever and ever
All she ever wanted
She made no promise
No prayer to live on
No silent recall
No hidden key
Just a kiss
Thanks for reading / listening!
