Where'd Everybody Go?
You wake up one day and everyone's gone. Nevermind you. Where did they go? M

Come Back

whatever did you leave me for—

oceans crashing forevermore?

beaming globe, blinded night

or fields unending, chasing light?

vibrant cities once awake

now abandoned and at stake

blank emotions, faces dead

sunset bleeding crimson red

town devoid of any reason

passing by a lifeless season

dusty skies, deserted floors

raging tempest, thunder pours

where has mankind ever gone

before the golden crack of dawn?

will you come back just like before?

whatever did you leave me for?
