SUNSET EUPHORIA

Walk with me

faded shadow of the evening sun

Your open wound

held from healing

left alone too long

*

They're still here

beneath the stairway of the Autumn clouds

They're still here

between the crossing of these worlds somehow

*

They're still trying to hunt me down

make me a ghost just like this town

*

They're still growing

I can feel their death inside

*

Now it's time

to prepare

to put the past behind

*

Now it's time

to haunt these hills

where only memories lie

*

They're still here

beneath the stairway of the Autumn clouds

They're still here

Never to wither

in the forever-now

*

They're still trying to hunt me down

make me a ghost

just like this town

*

They're still growing

I can feel their death

*

Sunset

sunset

I can't escape your eye

Oh, sweet sunset

bury me with you inside

*

Sunset

sunset

My family beside

Oh, my sweet sunset

bury me with you inside

*
