Codeine River
The sky shatters with a crack
like dawn breaking in early
Swelled nostrils
Senses sharpened and blurred
The jezabel wind scatters
the flame as I go to ash
out the window
Codeine river in my mind
The moon shines
from behind
heavy clouds
toward the end
of twilight
The hazy self
elclosed by noise
as the world expands
Codeine river, take my mind
Codeine river, take me away
Codeine river, elixer of damnation
Feeling pathetic
yet feeling so free
Codeine river, carry me home
