I’ve got to have that noise:

Somewhere inside my head
It says
Be beautiful, be gracious
In all you’ve said
There in my head
It tells me not to cry
Then stabs me in the chest
Just born in the wrong time I guess
To be here, alluring and distressed
It dresses me in times ago
Leaves me mourning times unknown
I know I don’t belong here, now
It was some simple, stupid vow
To come again, and be less known
A void among the shadows sown
A leaf of grass in yards of green
A voice not heard, a sight unseen
And yes I yearn to be back there
Where I was once a sight, repaired
From broken-ness, a shadow
Seen, a girl with many broken dreams
So here I am, again in time
A voiceless tune, forgotten rhyme
Though I do love this lifetime true
 I find so many tearsome blues
I try to fight, then to resign
Myself to these so lonesome times
A friend or two, where did they go
Lost, gone among the tiresome snow
A lost embrace, a timed romance
A fearsome look, a ripened glance
And so I’ll live, but who knows why
My life’ s become an alibi
I’ll go back soon, so who knows when
I’d like to see your face again
Upon the hills, inside the sun
Warmer than this world’s fiercest gun
You’ll see me soon, I won’t forget
I’lll try this time not to regret
This song in rhyme, so goes my time
This lonesome city lullaby.
