Split Rock

Eyes are swollen from sleepless nights This head hurts from all the tears These hands are wrinkling, are aging And short dreams show these fears The sky so blue with happy children's dreams This ceiling gray as ash Don't do what this body's trying to do Don't do anything rash Wake up from the dreaming, dreamer It's broken like that heart It means as little as the rock in the desert Dried up and split apart
