Hope For Chrome


Freedom ripples through these leaves
Down the streets and the centuries
Lost in haze is the traveled road
Beyond the bridges we used to know
When fastened chains called my name
Hope for Chrome on this rusted soul
Face in the wind, been riding on the rims
Trying to find my mind on the way back home

Sunlight falls in drops today
Like breaths of smoke to an empty ashtray
Strangest of feelings flicker and spark
Like diamonds in the dust and angels in the dark
Lightning strikes, wails in the night
The drawn curtain fears more
Leaping thoughts are sold and bought 
As they slip thru the cracks in the floor

Dangle from cliffs and fall into the sun
Circle around rips in the time and space continuum
Take hold of it all and let it seep thru
Is it the world that’s spinning or is it just you
Boulevards and cheap cigars
An answer to the call
Searing lights swim thru the night
Signs like vines climb up the wall
