New Dark Age

New Dark Age
Wind swept through August
Caught a malaise
Killed off the hours
With pills and champagne
Oh but I laze through the days
Just the same
To store my strength
For courage in this new dark age

Stared down the freezer
And cleared out my phone
Wheeled through the aisles
And brought nothing home
Oh I could call you
If you were alone
Restore my faith
To struggle through this new dark age

Stay in my thoughts all you want
Make shadows that menace the walls
I don't even care anymore

Lost my star
Made one new
On this shore
This will do
