Just North of Dallas

The shadows are calling out to me

As the night falls all the way down to the sea

Voices whispering in my ear so gently

Waiting for my consciousness to flee,

Is there no way out of here?

Nothing is as it appears

All their intentions seem unclear

As through nocturnal waters I steer,

Love is a fair weather friend

Probably won’t be there in the end

No matter how much of your blood you send

No matter how much upon you they depend,

A tear that leaves ripples in a pond

Feeling those losses as they go on and on

What of those painfully broken bonds?

In the big picture you’re nothing but a pawn,

Telling myself what I should do

During the day it seems I have no clue

Support is far between and few

Loyalty and trust are all askew,

Somewhere in a celestial palace

Drinking ambrosia from a holy chalice

Is a princess who loves without malice

But I’m stuck in this room just north of Dallas.
