Now I'm Exhausted

barely alive on 2 AM airline
my past is just the places i've passed
the windows were tinted 
my eyes were half shut
my focus is fragile 
if my heart is a glass

here lies the ruins of a little known author
there go the ashes of a dying dream
it's hard to sit down 
when your hometown is a greyhound
now i'm exhausted and
there's no time to sleep

i'm gathering leaves from 
a once beautiful tree
which no one else will have
the chance now to see
or climb

it burning miles at a time
it's mine is mine
