Thursday's Flight - Silver Turnstile

Too many times in the dead of night
My choices are wrong when intentions are right
I won't let you carry me away
Despite your feigned dismay

Don't you toss me on the junk pile
I'll waltz right through that silver turnstile
Live out my busker dreams
Offer up my whisper screams

Whether I'm true or whether I'm trite
I'll occupy your dreams tonight
Awaiting my final trial
I would walk the longest mile

Please don't tell me how to live
I've got regrets, I can't forgive
Throw your stones, scuff my shoes, there's no reprieve
I've got nothing left to lose

Right behind me the future steals my sight... no light
Underground is where I hide... tell me once
I've got no place left to claim... after all
I've only just begun

Standing on the edge of my world
Breathing like there's no more time
Living out what I heard, is the best way to lose my mind

Can't take my life for granted anymore
I think I've found what I've been waiting for
Sold my soul the longest time ago
A lump of coal, no diamond glow
