"off he goes..."

here is to everyone who owns me a song
here is my own

here is to everyone who owns me a beat
will you be?

golden hours wasted in my own
letting go

sunsets not shared in real time
without soul

cars with both headlights when we can
see it all

the night seeing is getting bad
and i'm too distracted to watch it apart

the sea drifts away from me and
your tide

your tide is for someone else, even

even if has my name

he agrees
she stabs him
as he dies she comforts him and cries
he dies
she pick the phone

SHE

hi. police? 

someone tried to rape me
