Black Lights

[Verse] Storm rolling heavy, skies dipped in coal Heart full of gravel, couldn’t fill the hole Six strings crying, beneath a porch light glow Whiskey on the tongue, but there's nowhere to go [Chorus] Black lights blazing, shadows in the mist Kisses felt colder, ghosts hung on her lips Smoke signals rising, love’s goodbye twist Burned through the pages, now the story’s adrift [Verse 2] Boot heels grinding, dirt covers the grave Backroads confessional where regrets misbehave Dreamcatchers hung, don’t sleep anyway Nightmares in the daylight, the memories replay [Chorus] Black lights blazing, echoes through the pines A trail of broken songs, left by our designs Fingers trace the empty, maps of crooked lines Flooded valleys screaming, but the sun still declines [Bridge] The moon don’t chase you when you keep him at your back Loneliness a sheriff, riding stone-cold tracks She held no promise, just a fleeting knack To set fire to a heart and leave it charred pitch black [Chorus] Black lights blazing, shadows in the mist Kisses felt colder, ghosts hung on her lips Smoke signals rising, love’s goodbye twist Burned through the pages, now the story’s adrift
