Ring Around the Sun

Empty Pews

Trevor Boyd
How much living do I have to do
To feel alive again?
I'm tired, I'm used
Believed a thousand times that
There was another chance
Just let me sleep one last time

The secret is out
Heart too heavy to carry anymore
I wonder
Was it ever mine to begin with?
Seems like I've wanted to cut it out since
Before I can remember
Well
This is goodbye

Goodbye.

To those who look in pity
I say to you
You've never experienced the pain
A broken heart like mine gives
Just how it feels to be
Lost and hurting and
Cold

I'll bury you in warm sands
Let the tide take you away
Just maybe
You'll find someone right
Bring you back together forever
And, even though you've killed me
The hardest part of letting you go
Is the fact that I'm not the one who
Can fix you
Better luck my heart
With someone else

All I ask
Is to let me dream
Pretty white clouds
Dancing around the sun
Fall asleep
Never to wake up
All I ask
Is to let me dream
So that darkness
Won't be my only friend

Let me dream.

What can I say? I'm a university grad who fell in love with the dream to write. I love philosophy, psychology, and talking about the littlest of things for hours. I feel twangs of insanity, I slip into space...  View profile
