Anthracite

Don’t be afraid for me tonight
The sky won’t fall and wheels still turn
Don’t be scared while I’m out of sight
The river may run but the water burns

I cannot speak or say what’s true
Though here, imprisoned behind my eyes
Sits heavy this heart of blue
Forget it, just leave it where it lies

Don’t speak, don’t say out loud
Just keep it down just beat it back
turn away melt into the crowd
as the light within fades to black.
