Dead Man Dreaming
I’m just sleepwalking through my lifeless life
Marching at a slow metronome clicking pace
Like a charmed chameleon, I mirror others
Reflecting their habits and emotions
I notice the passing world as a vague shadow
Skipping the corners of my unseeing eyes
No longer a plan, just a dead man dreaming
Awakening each day to broken records
Spewing opinionated words, passing time
Constructing my dull pointless metrical form
Powered by alcohol and pain killing drugs
Writing until passing into restless sleep
The clock ticking the minutes slowly away
While I lie dreaming of me truly living
