Crawling through the trenches of the day
A hazy glow could take you far away
Flowing beams and strained afternoon light
The buzzing of the wires as we walk by

At the slightest fright, you mine for glee
And it's out of sight, but guaranteed
In every pore of every day
Will I be there when you've gone far away?

A silence nuzzled me within my sleep
And took away what I was forced to keep
Deference and inadvertent sparks
The iridescent flames defaced the dark

In the brightest light you shine for me
In the brightest light you shine for me
And what you want is what you take
Will I be there when you've gone far away?
