I woke up at twilight whiskey dreams from last night with you fading like the darkness and drying morning dew now I'm gonna reset stand barefoot on carpet feeling every shred of fabric underneath my feet I don't need your affection no more released from the bonds I swore to adore you gave up too soon now I'm done licking wounds and fighting to forget the good days I should've known would turn to night I think I'll sing a new song one with several long angelic choruses with voices in happy harmony I don't need your affection no more released from the bonds I swore to adore

everything was moving a bit too fast for him standing in the corner rolling cigarettes too thin flashing lights illuminate the girl her diamond eyes shining bright it feels like falling down across the midnight sky darkness all around discostars hung high reaching out to touch they drift across the floor and leave alone and cold but always wanting more everything was moving a bit too slow for her grooving in the middle singing dancehall hymns and prayers free from youth and fear of the unknown she moves with the grace of a dove answer dancehall prayers

twinkle 02:24
let the children out into the sunlight let them feel it on their skin and it may burn and they may know pain but they will know and that is for the best
5.
wake before the dawn before the light turns on dying everything a dirty blonde pulling yourself up fill the broken cup just to empty it and make another buck all these things I have learned wake me up, they make me toss and turn in bed and it hurts to know the breath of youth to understand that it ends walk the longest mile talk until they smile befriend everyone who bears with you for a while make a few wrong turns giving what you've earned fleeting worldly things are none of your concern all these things you will learn like the summer sun beats down and burns your skin and it hurts to know the breath of youth to understand that it ends

baby what have I done? gone and left you all alone it's hard for me to sing this song we've been together for so long I think I know what my soul's got to say and it won't hurt as bad some day it's gonna be alright, baby it's gonna be alright, love and if the mist ever lets the sun through I just hope I did the right thing for me and you guess I'm ruled by my heart built a life and I tore it all apart it's just not our time but you'll find a new love and you'll be fine so many dark and lonely nights but I believe someday I'll see the light it's gonna be alright, baby it's gonna be alright, love and if the mist ever lets the sun through I just hope I did the right thing for me and you

headlights 04:04
once again I’m in the rearview mirror that never shows me anything too clear some nights I fear there might be nothing there an empty stare but everything is gonna be alright I’ll keep on driving til the morning light the rising sun will never let me down when it comes around headlights shining through open avenues brighten the field of view I know that I may never know myself and anyway I’m just a story to tell to all the folks I meet along the way to my decay but everything is gonna be alright and someday I will put up a fight and I'll make something great with all this mess this sick distress headlights shining through open avenues brighten the field of view guide me through the dark
