Shine

Tears of light drip through my hotel window
And into tired eyes
They yawn across the ceiling
Cracked and flaking like old stones
Resting on the dresser with the coffee and the key

Shine a light
Turn the night back into morning
Shine a light
Take the night away from me

Will I wake up somewhere quiet and palatial
A museum or a daydream
Will I wake up in a town I should have slept through

All the minutes feel like hours
Feel like seconds
Feel like days

Am I here
Are you awake
Am I away
Am I anyone at all
Do I even have a body anymore

Tears of light
Drip from my eyes
Through the floor into the lobby
Where they pool like blood or water
Til the sun burns down the dawn
Pulls the vapor back up to my starving lungs
And into corners

Of my brain
That I don't know or even care to
Am I here
Am I alone
And do I dare to shine a light

Turn the night back into morning
Shine a light
Take the night away from me
Shine a light
Turn the night back into morning
Shine a light
Take the night away from me
