Blink

Tyler Read


How do you know this? Have we been here? 
Something to show for, when all the light has been taken from our eyes 
Its a lot like breathing when the oxygen is depleted from the room 
Its a lot like bleeding losing everything important to you 

When the lights go down we say our farewells 
Not forgetting the things weve found 
When the lights go down, we'll say our goodbyes 
Not regretting the things weve found 

How would you like it? If it were you? 
Standing in silence, mouthing everything that I could tell you 
Ill take your reaction in the most optimistic way 
Its a lot like blinking when you'd rather calmly turn and walk a way 
And we are surrounded
