Gold Star

Let me just stick it on your big fat forehead so it's out in the open.

2:56AM

The last time I checked the clock, it was 2:56.

I haven't looked at it since, but I know time has passed.

I'm laying in the dark, but I've been in the dark for so much longer than tonight.

Hands reach down for me and I decline them. I have to get up myself.

My eyes are wide open, and yet I can't see anything in front of me.

Your face comes through though, and it wouldn't matter if my eyes were open or closed.

Burning, ripping your way into my thoughts, igniting the dark.

The last time I checked the clock, it was 2:56.

I won't check it again.

Meet Me Across the Seas

I found your picture on a shelf in an antique store, and now I'm looking for more.
