Holding all the Coats.

Tonight i was the background harlett. 

Scarlet  holding all the coats. 

Tonight i watched the lives before me

Design, and  laugh, 

and boast

 every instance that they'd walked 

and every time they fell. 

And I met some who'd fallen. 

Fallen hard, 

but picked up well. 

And then I watched in disbelief

at in my life what i'd achieved

and where I've come to with my time . 

At 23, I Pity my--

self diluted sickness

that I've done all I can do. 

You wanna know that moment?

My nightmares did come true. 

I finally have reached the place 

Where I stand in all black-

Still holding onto all the coats, 

and they're not looking back. 

For while I'm simmering 

Like the burn of some forgotten stew-

The singers sang a melody that breathed life into view. 

And if I don't do something, 

stop fearing for the cost. 

My  fear will overtake me. 

My Song. 

It will be lost.
