Ailanthus

Sirens Cry

Ailanthus


Glistening cold rain 
it soothes my soul 
the light reflecting shows me the way home 
sirens cry out 
cement rises 
their lives a blur still can't touch the sky 
I shut them out 
the ringing in my ears will stop 
If I just breathe I 'll never hear their laughter 
cars race by 
a blur in my eyes 
time runs the same way 
a crook in disguise 
I always seem to get lost missing the light of day 
streets with dark eyes 
I shut them out 
the ringing in my ears will stop 
If I just breathe I 'll never hear their laughter
