Ramblings At 3 Am

XY
Track & point
Step by step
				Don’t look Down
		Don’t look back
Don’t look up
		   	Look ahead, but don’t see
	XY
		XY
			XY
Take a step
		Just one
I dare you
		Don’t ask me why or where
	Just do it
		You’re numb, you’re blind, you’re deaf
			But keep talking, keep walking the
same path
		see where that leads you


Meanwhile I’ll dig a tunnel with my teeth
	Straight up
And I’ll climb…
		So help me I’ll climb
				And leave a well behind me…
					        Sea water
My expression is my own		Sea water
					        Sea water

		  Yet you see and hear
				  Nothing of it
So keep walking
	And keep talking about the things
				You’ll never understand

‘Till your very soul quakes
			And resonates
In tune with the ocean

So drown in quicksilver
	And damn the sun
		Damn the moon
			And damn your light



God help you, you miserable thing
	Eyes crusted over
		Cataracts in your soul

You constantly feed off the pain and emptiness
		That sustains you

Drink your poison
	Toast to your own misery

I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore
	I’m going to bed,
				You’re not worth
					The lost sleep
My sad, sad friend…
			
			Go to sleep
