Las Vegas

Yesterday, I saw my face

But the lights had flickered out

Over on the north side of Vegas

The city that dies with grey skies

And an emergency orange sun

You say goodbye at desert graves

Where the dust has spread into a maze

That some sons stay lost in

The spirits of the ones you loved

Are the ones you feel you've let down

My father's eyes had a way to disguise

All the feelings that were boiling and leaking

Conversations have stopped relieving the pain for me

The open wounds never found a way to fade

Vegas will kill you if you keep remembering

Starlit nights on Soothing Surf Drive

And Red Pine Court
