Dancing Alone In the Dark

Most of my life I’ve been fishing in the wrong spot

Like one of the General’s men bleeding on a cot

Still wondering if I’m alive or not

Do they ever realize the despair they’ve brought?

Terrible to be alone, oh my how you’ve grown

What kind of poison seeds have I sown?

All those momentary pleasures that I’ve outgrown

Like riding a chariot full of brimstone,

In your closet I hear the rattle of bones

Thought I could even here all those sinful moans

All those expedient murders using drones

Redirecting air traffic around “No fly” zones,

My Darling the nightmares of the past

Tell me how long will true love ever last?

The good that never seems to outlast

The storm’s coming, better secure the mast,

Now I’m just dancing alone in the dark

Personal tragedies leave their mark

Marriages break up over cruel remarks

The Zeppelin blew up with a spark,

She wanted to be queen for a day

Suddenly her world went astray

The perfect model on public display

Now she’s in a state of decay,

Blood stained history just turn the page

Clueless actors on the global stage

Snuffed out over a case of road rage

People don’t know when to disengage.
