Stones and Glass

Another cold night
This December sky is clear
Still I can't see the stars
The city lights tear up the sky

So I walk these streets alone under the purple haze
Down the roads you don't know so you can't find me

So let's just pretend for one night
That you won't come looking for me
That I'm never coming back

My thoughts escape my mind
They bounce between stone and glass
Reverberating, silent echoes of a distant past

Searching for the greener side but I can't find it
There are no answers here, just lies and this gray pavement

What would happen, just for tonight?
If I had freedom just for one night
Would I find a better life?
Would I come home to you
Or would I leave here tonight?
