The Lights

they don't turn off when i shut my eyes

the lights are behind me

yet still i let them blind me

and my past it to is behind me

but no longer will it bind me

the lessons that i learnt

weren't worth what i paid

and by the time i realised

i realised i got played

this is not a warning, merely a guide

a clue to you given by the clueless

this is not a how to or a silly little ride

it’s something exponentially more useless

the sighs i hear right there behind me

there will always be something there to remind me

a modest mantra of unwind and be free

and the lights that are behind me, still blind me
