Plastic bottles fill empty promises
rage takes a stance from across the room
I am numb now
sleeping in my bed
hopeless swings across the ocean for a phone call
I listen
static clears
pianos bring peace in the distance
I hear the hollow cries of peach cotton candy
she reminds me not to see this glass as half empty
I hear the sirens in the wake of the storm
I remember it's just angels and devils..
Angels and devils..
We always win at this game of baseball..
Stings- these tears in the rain.
I'm up again to bat.
no one at home.
She cries in our bed.
I sing her every lullabye
to find some sleep tonight.
I find her a kiss , I pray to heaven
As I unravel, short thread
long needle.
I hear him screaming..
I promise love it will be alright..
