Back home

Stars were distant warm and cold
Weightless in the dark I floated
Missed the ground beneath my feet
Earth’s pull calls me back deep

Empty rains where silence spoke
Memories of you kept me hopeful
Everything stretched endless out there
Heart is anchored to the blue

Falling through the night
Falling through the night
Falling through the night
Coming back
to you

Darkness whispered secrets old
Fingers reaching for the sky
Family waiting hearts below
Gravity binds yet sets me free

Falling through the night
Falling through the night
Falling through the night
Coming back
to you

Falling through the night
Falling through the night
Falling through the night

Coming back
to
you

Missed it

Turning off the signal
Fading out in noise
Words that meant so little
Gone like shattered toys

Whispered lines are hollow
Echoes in the void
Answers never follow
Trust was just a ploy

Frequencies are dying
Lost in the static haze
Silent echoes crying
End of whispered phase

No more hidden meanings
No more shadowed calls
Dreams that lost their gleaming
Darkness gently falls

Pulling down the curtain
Screens are going black
Future shrouded certain
Never looking back

Frequencies are dying
Lost in the static haze
Silent echoes crying
End of whispered phase

Missed it,
so I called later,
but won’t pick
up

Plastic smiles fake cheer
Hidden faces shadowed fear
Eyes that blink but never see
We pretend just to be

Painted whispers in the air
Truth and lies they aren’t rare
Fragments shifting breaking past
Holding on it never lasts

Wear the mask hide the fear
Year to year tear to tear
Cover up what’s inside
Nobody sees where ____

Empty voices broken sound
In the silence we are bound
Echoes of the doubts we drown
Falling stars crashing down

Mirrored thoughts in shattered views
Lost in layers of the ruse
Who are we beneath the game
Who’s to blame just the same

Wear the mask hide the fear
Year to year tear to tear
Cover up what’s inside
Nobody sees where we hide
