Darkness Fells
Three full boxes on the doorstep, the sun betrayed my vision
A man with paper and pen, impatient
I signed with unsteady confusion he turned and strode
"They're from _" I mumbled and slowly dragged them inside
The previous morning I had slept as he plodded past
My feet should have been there, following suit
My father, a search, flashing buildings and familiar asphalt
Eyes stinging from winded emotion
Crawling through the forest ridden but there was no sign
I thought you knew better than to test the water
Thought you had the strength to know your limitations
You thought you'd be ok once you were in, were you surprised
When water replaced the sky, as the darkness fell
Meanwhile, assorted deliveries by similar, impatient men
Cars chose the less frequent, feet beat dirt tracks, even wandered off, all to no avail
My father, a search, flashing buildings and familiar asphalt
Eyes stinging from winded emotion
Crawling through the forest ridden but there was no sign
I thought you knew better than to test the water
Thought you had the strength to know your limitations
I'm not ready to play this game if it's all the same to you, not
When water replaces the sky, when the darkness fells
A man with paper and pen, impatient
I signed with unsteady confusion he turned and strode
"They're from _" I mumbled and slowly dragged them inside
The previous morning I had slept as he plodded past
My feet should have been there, following suit
My father, a search, flashing buildings and familiar asphalt
Eyes stinging from winded emotion
Crawling through the forest ridden but there was no sign
I thought you knew better than to test the water
Thought you had the strength to know your limitations
You thought you'd be ok once you were in, were you surprised
When water replaced the sky, as the darkness fell
Meanwhile, assorted deliveries by similar, impatient men
Cars chose the less frequent, feet beat dirt tracks, even wandered off, all to no avail
My father, a search, flashing buildings and familiar asphalt
Eyes stinging from winded emotion
Crawling through the forest ridden but there was no sign
I thought you knew better than to test the water
Thought you had the strength to know your limitations
I'm not ready to play this game if it's all the same to you, not
When water replaces the sky, when the darkness fells
