Your Healthy Glow
The television light that’s distorted by the sun gives
your face a healthy glow
And you realize that you were never baptized, hey, whaddya know?
Sleeping has lost it’s charm
No need for alarm
No use in staying cool
Nothing is worth the fuel
The people that you meet at the bad end of the street
say ‘come out in the dark’
You can see the blood on the windowpanes where they’ve left their mark
You wonder why you ever leave
Your aching home just to grieve
You don’t cry cuz you don’t know
You don’t notice your own glow
Suddenly your home burns to the ground
It’s sacred but there’s no one around
You keep your job for things you’ll never have
And addictions that will never last
When the last thing you need isn’t in what you read do
you wonder if it’s there?
And when you’ve gone and things are all wrong do you ever think to care?
Holding time on your shattered soul
Was very short ands running low
Relatives don’t care to go
And experience your healthy glow
