Photophobia

Make me wanna stay
Just tell me where I should lay down
I know your miles away
And I’m alone in the desert
I’m staring up the mountains
Hoping the may point my way
But when the light comes
Like you I’ll be gone with the day

It makes me wanna cry
I paint my face like a bad clown
Just another way to die
Little by little out in the nether
Learning to navigate by the stars
But I find that’s all by the by
Because they’re all fading fast
And soon will fall from the sky

You’ll have all the fun
In the dusty street of the old town
Watching the rodents run
Their tails cut off with a cleaver
Whilst I watch from the cliffside
Watching it all come undone
As we’ve done 100 times before
Before we’re gone with the Sun

    Interesting. Very much got imagery in my head. I see you joined about 7 months before I did in 2004. You have to be one of the oldest members that still contributes. If you wouldnt mind telling me your story in a private message on here, and why you are still here, I would also share my reasons. Thanks.
