Grey Flannel Armor

Grey Flannel Armor 

Looking back through twilight eyes

Five o’clock shadows on the rise

memories that have lingered

and grown long in the tooth

 

Shelby Deveruax 

where did our yesterdays run off to 

even self inflicted wounds scar in time 

but in the end there was always you

 

Her eyes bright as fireworks

sparks of a revolution

Her voice as clean as a fresh waxed floor 

like an angel’s answered prayer

Shelby Deveruax 

where did our yesterdays run off to 

even self inflicted wounds scar in time 

but in the end there was always you 

I wrapped my heart in grey flannel armor 

boarded a spaceship and took yours away 

but I hope one day when we’re older  

I’ll be seeing you again

 

Grey flannel armor

 

All these wasted moments

spent racing towards the sun

after all these lonesome years

I wish you could’ve been there to tag along
