Bill Mallonee Your Bright Future
There's this little piece of you
I may never see again
There's a bigger piece of me
That's simply vanishing
There's a little scrap of memory
Sleeping next to your truth
It's all curled around your body
And i cannot shake it loose
You park your van you feel again
You scratch your skin pick up your pen
I am afraid what did i pay
To stand up here and play the fool
I'm losing myself and i know i'm losing you
Something you'll remember
Something you once knew
Why bring it all up to the light
Except when it's killing you
A bridge to build an act of will
Some time to kill a soul to fill
Your bright future stares me down
You'll bury all you lose
Your winter sun she breaks upon
Those skies of cobalt blue
