Starry Night - Zox

Lying on my back i feel you breathing

Sucking down the ghosts into your sleep

There’s something in your spine that makes me nervous

And the black that swells between us grows more deep

I cut the world in chords making melodies from words and i’m confused again

Take all this abuse because i ain’t got much to lose

It’s a starry starry night out here on hope street

But hope gives way to hunger when you’re poor

And with pockets full of promises and poems

I know that you ain’t worth much anymore

Spoke in broken time crooked rythyms twisted rhymes and i’m confused again

Paint my world in blue because i’ve never liked to lose

I don’t think i want to spend another night with you

I don’t think i want to spend another day feeling the way you leave me to

Standing in the half light of the morning

I watch the shadows lace across my shoes

There’s something in your voice that makes me nervous

If i can tell we’re lying why can’t you?

The song that’s in my head is playing backwards in this bed and i’m confused

again

Seems like i have to choose it feels like either way i lose
