Solar Eclipse

Dark stains on ivory

They'll never go away

They look a lot like me

Found ways to hold the weight

Pawn to heredity

But I am me

I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know

I'm everything now that you would never want

If you knew the length of my selfishness

Distant and naive are two that still believe

Gentle hands that feed

And on my chest one sleeps

The closest one to me in every way

In a parking lot, in a burning truck, I'm waiting around

The hours pass. I'm a mess, and it's getting worse

I'm freezing cold sweats are all that I'm worth

You're at home, lying proud of a son

But it don't shine anymore
