Behind the Times

Baited snares and the jaded tells. The night was running ahead of itself. Bruised and spiteful, out of mind, I was living behind the times. Just pull the trigger and glide away.

My pockets full of broken jewels, I've run through alleys chasing fools. Too many names crowd in my head while I'm netted in the threads
