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
