paper trail

I used to follow a paper trail
before the bridge I was
wearing out the holy grail
in the four walls of my mind
closing in all the time
a spark is all it needs
a loss of three
I stand numb in the corner
nightmare
nightmare
tonight I stare
perfectly into the black
the red light
at the top breaks through
but you don't look back

from another town
a paper trail came after you
what are you gonna do
you can burn it all down
yet it never goes away
You stand alone in the corner
What does the space
feel like between
still life in black and white
or color imagery

today you stare
perfectly into the black
the white light
at the top breaks through
but you don't turn back

I should be feeling pity
Though I don't feel a thing
I should be feeling pity
Though I don't feel a thing
