Sunlight Flickers


I've seen this place in sunset light
The neon glow of city nights
Nothing's wrong, now it's alright
It's time to dry your eyes

Distractions come in many ways
While born to find our past enslaved
Morning claims no hiding place
For monsters kept confined

It's always on my mind
With what gets left behind

From trampolines and swimming pools
Some dirty thoughts in quiet rooms
All the things we couldn't do
When nothing comes for free

This haunted house, your favourite clothes
Forgotten places no one knows
City streets and county roads
Each truth that floats downstream

With flaws in our beliefs
There's lies stuck in between

Now if this sunlight flickers
Will we be guided by the sparks?
Another memory triggered
We're always stumbling in the dark

Reflecting as the day begins
There's Nothing much of consequence
Looking back on where we've been
It keeps us well-preserved

With honest fears that get pushed down
All rising to the surface now
Caustic views once disavowed
Have finally been unearthed

Compounding what still hurts
But how much is it worth?
