Burnt out light
Sherri Banister 1986 (Dallas)
Must have been walking on clouds
Make believe was reality
Whose though?
See that?
I mean seriously It's right in front of you
Plain as day
Clear as glass
Shining bright
Glowing right through you
Yet here I am down the road
Seeing nothing but darkness
All the boom
Bang
Bow
Gone like my reality made from what I believed
As you said it to me
