Distress Signals

Last Chance Dave

Good day. How's your year been?

I've been learning what to say

So many shades of gray

There is comfort in these brown walls

In this empty hall a soul releases

Though I never gave it

That much thought at all

I think up things to say and

When I pray I gain no faith

So I want to be somebody else

A feather to your felt

I am lost in the sun and

Weak in the shadows holding on…



What you thought was real

And what you wanted most

Erases like a ghost

You can't help but feel

Tied down to the shame

At the whisper of a name



I placed a secret in your palm

Whose hand will I one day hold

If I ever hold again

I have a letter marked to Abraham

There are sacrifices to be made

So many souls to save

I have a jar sealed watertight

These thoughts that keep you up at night

You just can't perceive

It's harder to believe
