Not Everything Needs a Title

intentional delusions make up my simple mind
hazy but so aware keeps distance from my everything
this drunken binge and rampage lies not so far behind
just keeping me away remains my queen and king
nocturnal, unaware of sun i remain silent and pale
at night when pleasure seeks me all i know to do is wait
sailing back to paradise is to catch the tiger by its tail
i worked so hard to stop the floods, why not open up the gate
