A Thousand Days

A Thousand Days

I could speak for a thousand days

And you’d never hear a word I say

Always caught up in your own pain

To understand the pouring rain

Perhaps I’m nothing more than a fallen angel

Thrown from the clouds with broken wings

Like a line from the ancient fables

The moral never helps the endings

Sympathy would be too much to ask

And empathy is an impossible task

If you would try to understand my past

Then maybe we could make this last

As I’m soaked to the bone

You stand tall in the light

I’m shivering in the unending cold

And you’re feeling alright

It’s been a thousand days repeated

Nothing has changed or been completed

I’ve been loved and been mistreated

My mind is screaming yes while my heart’s retreated

A thousand days standing in the rain

A thousand more wouldn’t change a thing

There is just nothing left to explain

And no more future to be seen
