Yet evening, still dreaming, a silence in my head

The people, all talking, their words won’t reach my bed

 

I’ve stopped now, the running, repeating inaudible words

The theories, all covers, the restless hunt disturbs 

 

The young me, the one you see, screamed with all her might

The young me, the soon-to-be, screamed with all her might

Sure of what was right

 

Yet evening, still bleeding, sirens in my head

Late thinkers, all twisted, their printed thoughts turn red

Yet evening, not leaving, as days and nights go by

No lessons, no questions until their echoes die

 

The young me, the one you see, screamed with all her might

The young me, the soon-to-be, screamed with all her might

Sure of what was right
