New Distant Lights

from Hapax Legomena by Pete Davis

/

lyrics

Memorizing the staircase
scared of making a sound
groaning under your weight, they'll find you out

Knuckles white on the handrail
Inescapable now
We all thought you would always be around

Let it not be known
errant sympathy
let us not lose touch,
though we'll have expected when we do

Feeling our familiar places all becoming new
Memories of a home that keeps forgetting you

Can you see them scattered in the sky?
Shone new distant lights

Closer shadows call our eyes to the floor
Never knowing what we wait for
