This Scene I'm Seeing Nightly

After laughter there was awkward silence
We needed one more round to make headway
Taking off our sober faces
Find much less somber things to say

After plastered, pounding fists with laughter
Disasterous if we should lose our nerve
Closing open mouths, they're so unsightly
When they're not speaking finer words

And it's alright by me if you prefer being quiet
I'm quite content watching the lashes dance above your eyelids
It's hard to take things in when you're engulfed in endless noise
I'm overjoyed to see the beauty I was blind to when I still my voice

After laughter, two cars driving onward
And outward where they will soon divide
This shell that I return to
Isn't nearly where my faithful heart resides

After silence, I slip into the evening
I-10 should take me right back home to you
This scene I'm seeing nightly
Half-tempted to go, but oh, I never do

And it's alright with me as I lay in the quiet
I'm quite content with dreaming
There's no way I can deny it
It's hard to take things in when you're engulfed in endless noise
I'm overjoyed to see the beauty I was blind to when I still my voice
