Can'T Sleep At the Empty Night Club

"I get sicker, I get sicker" skin just as soft as silky hair wet flannel towel with lipstick smudges luminous sound waves of colour could stay here in this warm water forever i never feel bad its when i get out the pain arises subsiding? Not really, having a bath in a empty night club with lights flashes splashes fake eyelashes on the floor distort eyesight of ecstasy. "I get sicker, I get sicker" sick dripped hanging towel over the mixing deck collapse over the stage. blood lust, splashes of water drip drip drop on the floor smiling laughing bubbles strobes visual display of ambience. This is what happens when you can't sleep go funny sleep deprived hallucinations stumbling shaking cold warm covered floor of splattered mud blood slugs sick pick eyelashes wishing more do not leak fall out, "I get sicker, I get sicker" i get deader as night elapses corridor floor crawling brawling with dancing mannequins masquerade of sanity song name sickness disease mold scold fold towels die with the night. Thoughts screaming at me laughing crying dying dancing dejavu decay disfigured limbs on the dance floor. Why does nobody come here? Sink submerge into the now muddy bath water of the "heavens night" lights. Pick me like a daisy lotus out of the soil toil ticking clock shocks of ink covered frocks locks on the doors are screaming like thoughts growing faces places daylight saving me sleep please please sleep in the sink? No, wont fit slit someones face off cough blood over there face pills pills addiction transfixtion transvestic fetishism obsession depression dilute delay please come stay at the empty night club Im so lonely slowly dying inside these walls of leaking paint. "I get sicker" skindred reference to song sicker
