Thanksgiving Day
11/28/11

Its cold like November in the autumn of my life
Too far to remember my subtle suicide
And your words came and swept me away
And i woke up on this Thanksgiving Day

I was lost like a child in a secondhand store
But i swore all the while that i’ve been here before
the first day they found me in the fray
caught between decline and decay
And your words came and carried me away
And i woke up on this Thanksgiving…
day without the world on my plate
a day without the score of my fate
a day without my life on the line…this time

it was bright like a monday with the clouds in my eyes
And i’ll see you someday for our next goodbye
and on the first day they found me in the fray
stuck between denial and dismay
and your words came and swept me away
I woke up on this Thanksgiving
day without the world on my plate
a day without the score of my fate
a day without my life on the line
a day without falling just behind
a day without escaping my mind…this time
