thump

empty streets and
parking lots
lonely hearts and
poor old sots
last night's story
last night's plot
to follow through or
to follow not

with one glance my melting heart
burns into the ground
the thump thump thump it used to make
now don't make a thumping sound

suddenly time
don't stand still it's
time to love it's
time to kill
sometimes play the
bastard role but
inside myself is there a
bastard soul

with one glance my melting heart
burns into the ground
the thump thump thump it used to make
now don't make a thumping sound

was a time said
with a smile life
is a journey
walk the mile
got my pipe dreams
are they what they seem
battle ground's in the
in betweens
construction worker
lay them plans
can ya lay 'em all
with them tiny hands

with one glance my melting heart
burns into the ground
the thump thump thump it used to make
now don't make a thumping sound
