Sidewalks

We saw another sun in the sky take flight
And when the things we had done were realized
It was the weight of it all that burned my mind
And amplified my own decline

Follow the chains of command that detonate
To the shadows on sidewalks that resonate
It was a moment in time a flaw in space
A thousand goodbyes waving on the inside

That must be it but it didn't fit
The time I'm spending is counterfeit

I'm dialed in
To where I've been
But I won't admit
I'm lost again

The flash of light
That held you tight
Fell down the sky
And shook nearby

I guess I never thought that it was strange
An outline of a lifetime that can't be traced
It was a moment your mind will always chase
A thousand goodbyes waving on the inside As the killer wave
Went on parade
I tried to imagine
The lives I'd saved

That must be it
But it didn't fit
The time I'm spending
Is counterfeit
