The Ideas I Keep To Myself
If I sleep tonight
What can I make of tomorrow
As my mind whirrs in and whirrs out
But I'm still made time for
How do I categorise this mood
Perhaps melancholy
There's surely been a time and place slip
I don't know how I got here
Living the dream written down on the folded piece of paper
But instead of whooping
Sitting in various chairs
Contemplating the absence of dreams
I need to wake up
This perpetual slumber is a future regret
How do I open my eyes
I'm Snow White
In the glass coffin
Unable to hear what those gathered are saying
Following linear paths doesn't work
You've left before you knew you arrived
I can stop now
Use the idea of cycling round again
To wake up
I'll slide along again whilst sleeping
It's a terrible idea
To stay awake
In this mood
I'll go for less carbs tomorrow
Perhaps that'll do the trick
