Nobody Riding the Roads Today

Nobody riding the roads today
But I hear the living rush
far away from my heart
Nobody meeting on the streets
But I rage from the crowded
overtones of emptiness
Nobody sleeping in my bed
But I breathe like windows
broken by emergencies
Nobody laughing anymore
But I see the world split
and twisted up like open stone
Nobody riding the roads today
But I hear the living rush
far away from my heart
