Once Upon a Sometime

By Six-Out

Once upon a sometime
this all felt right

waiting for tomorrow to end
as it drifts into tonight
the lies we tell ourselves
it's all alright, we lived
we loved, we die
sometimes

does it seem worth it
to you?
me- maybe we can try
-

you watched it fall
that one time -then
I watched you cry
you cried for them...
one time/
do you remember it?
you prayed that night
as the stars cried
your name
down to our earth
away from the hell
we fought
you lost that one
yet you prayed
to your grave
tomorrow maybe
[another day]

------------------------

the neon signs that guide my life
_I will not die

you want to know
just who I am
you want to try
maybe understand
or stand under and
overturn - the way

make me, another time
deny this life
as I put this pen to your vein
can you feel my words
-I hope you can

"maybe understand or stand under and overturn" - this is just fantastic. deeply melancholy piece still with a hint of hope; the third-last line is also particularly excellent.
