LYRICS OF A SONG I'LL NEVER SING

 you're a blood blister/ stiches on the shin/ i'm the verse from proverbs/ inked beneath your skin/ you missed my being/ i waited in the rain/ to watch you try to win

victory smells like week-old sweat/ the number is cracked but you're still the best/ can your legs carry you back to bed/ I have to stay and put out the fire in my head

your dreams reach the end of that field/ you talk as if it pierces the sky/ they use the green  to measure cities and stars/ i use it to count the miles i drive/to play hide and seek beneath a vacancy sign/ while i watch the night life die

I watch you run in circles/ trapped here on your arm/ wondering if i'm relevant/ or just part of your charm

when the scripture fades/

                                        then so will I/

I'll follow the echoes down into the night/ you're a blood blister/ stiches on the shin/ I'm the nameless motel room i've been praying in

       bones don't forgive your recklessness/

       your number will stay the same/

       we'll keep running even though we know/

        the distance will never change/

when the holiness dissipates/

                                   then so will I/

I'll be dancing on the brighter side of the night

you're a blood blister/ stiches on the shin/

I'm the rolled- down window kissing chills on my skin/
