Slipping Away
By Ryan Johnston
By Ryan Johnston
The early morning light, blankets November skies
The day is pre-written, a common eulogy
For all the sleepless nights, we forget about
Unmarked, in the graveyard of our minds
As the sun begins to shape a brand new day,
The stars still linger here, orphaned, but unaware
Waiting for what went away,
To come back around again
If you look long enough, and let your eyes adjust
The darkness and the light, exist in the same sky
For every one of us
Railing guards the space between,
The edge we see, and the trust we lean
We are slipping away
From everything we could be
And I know you'll run away
And I just can't be, how you see me
The day is pre-written, a common eulogy
For all the sleepless nights, we forget about
Unmarked, in the graveyard of our minds
As the sun begins to shape a brand new day,
The stars still linger here, orphaned, but unaware
Waiting for what went away,
To come back around again
If you look long enough, and let your eyes adjust
The darkness and the light, exist in the same sky
For every one of us
Railing guards the space between,
The edge we see, and the trust we lean
We are slipping away
From everything we could be
And I know you'll run away
And I just can't be, how you see me
In a lifetime of losing dreams
Are the moments in between
We give it all back in the end
But the meaning that we find
Is something I like to think we keep
Maybe the memories keep us instead
If we have to say goodbye, and leave
And lose touch, so we can forget things
Flatsy shoes, the sun kissed your name
Running through me, like my own veins
