Pencil Dreams


                            Why do i sprawl out on my bed 
                               comatose and almost dead 
                                    hoping for a miracle 
                                   that God is in my lead 
                                            my head 

                             They inject a pencil in my vein 
                                   thinking i'm still insane 
                                     hoping for a miracle  
                                    that God is in my pain 
                                            my name 

                             My covers wrap around my flesh 
                                       cocoon and desk 
                                     hoping for a miracle 
                                   that God is in this test 
                                             this mess 

                                      i sink into my head 
                                         i mean my bed 
                                         i mean my lead 
                                      hoping for a miracle 
                                    hoping God’s not dead
