Erasure

I call your name

For the seventh time

And when the night sets in

I’ll retrace my crime

I put out your flame

And still the smoke keeps coming back for more

I recall the sound

Of your dreams against the floor

Erasure, rewind

Your life

Not here, no more

Wasting

I’ve been wasting

All this time I tried so hard

To figure out my world

Wasting

I’ve been merely wasting

Hours that remain unsung

By my voice

I call your name

For the umpteenth time

And when the light sets in

I’ll retain my crime

Erasure, rewind

My life

Not here, no more
