Stay

Straddled between two worlds, undecided He sat there lost, a septic soul Dwindling handshakes and false beginnings Maybe you ought to shut the door, it's getting cold Craven and crass, take that rite of passage No rights here, only room for bigger mistakes Wherefore the reasons, he chased them all An eerie space this was, where even shadows forsake Peaceful somnolence is a false dawn Ask the bright blue lights that glow so smug Bruised egos and musty conversations This celebration of obsession, the new miracle drug Dive into the deepest fears of your hopes A labyrinth of dreams beckon Drowning sounds and rippling images And you're lost in oblivion The carnival of chaos, open to all Such a happy place but not anymore He ponders for a second, looks around I can't stay here. It's time to go
