"Prima Nocta"

No matter how hard I think
Still can't find the missing link

When I'm in my pajamas
Acting like a jerk
When I'm in...

Sea of searching tore hope without explanation 
Crucified crests cascaded, crazed static fall crashing
Thrown spontaneous needs, unclean situations 
Wayward waltz of flotsam incongruity, faith attacking

Tossed by tumult of quick duty drifters expected

the nurses with wheel chairs, collected the elders,

Nothing odd till silliness erupts again

Not sure there's help for this kind of mind
No pills can help, doc...
