with faith in the momentous clock hand
ticking down events in slow motion
until I have tunnel vision and I can see only you
sifting through my thoughts and collecting my secrets
wearing my honesty and my innocence
looking like sunshine on a warm day
your smile says come closer
I see you in my visions
and I scream stay away
the unsuspecting flirt with disaster
an older gentlemen with a plan
I walk the other way when I smell fear
you've won I smell pennies on the air
I don't come close enough you should see
my demons war with valor
to shut yours down
gentle child of the dawn
fighting for purchase in the nether realm
I know you watch me from the shadows
stalk my steps and peak in my diary
the day shaken is aware
hush, now I'm going to sleep
I'm going where monsters fear tread
I'm going where I'm not me
