Ignoring the Sandman

Time is ticking by faster And the clock hangs off the edge But my mind doesn't move as quickly It's blocked by a deadened hedge You say that time is precious And I believe it all too well I wish I could make things more certain But some things God will never tell Eyes as bloodshot as roses And ears that are prickled with thorns I await the coming sunrise Amidst my body's scorns

Sounds like words spoken from an insomniac. Thoughts find me late at night and I cannot help but give into them. I've gotten better... it used to make hours to finally get to sleep... but still. But some things God will never tell... what an awesome line that is!
