In the Moment

Luke Dailey
December 25, 2014

Everything is topping up
The Lunatic has struck his luck
By waiting like a sitting duck
He found his “Stomach-tuck”

His stomach-tuck’s a golden goose
Or is it his final noose?
Everything is going round
But where is it going down

Is time a river or a line?
Nothing here is really fine
She used to be oh so kind
That was in a different time
Now she’s of the other kind

Hope is killing one by one
His mind and heart are one and one
Look at me, “What have you done?”
You were the only one

Take a trip down memory lane
What a pointless, silly game
If you don’t come out on top
Your mind will quickly pop

Lights are flashing red and blue
“Oh god what did I do?”
“I promise you this isn’t me.”
“Please will you believe me?”

I wanna go home it’s eating me
Wishing me to slowly die
I woke up in a suit and tie
Time just keeps on ticking by

No one sees, I sure don’t
Slowly closing in my throat
Waking up, it’s just a joke
God is crying in his boat

Is it raining or melting?
The Lunatic hears all the dings
The clock is rusted, time is gone
And his mind is too far gone

If you think he’s good you’ll see
What a joke he played on me

Time is gone, frozen
And nothing’s gonna fix it now
Nothing’s gonna fix it now
Who’s the one laughing now?

The Lunatic's Circle

Everything goes round and round 
No one seems to have a frown
The Lunatic is going down
to the moving, lighted town
 
The Lunatic is now retired 
His thoughts are oh so tired
Mary, no one seems to find her
Engulfed in a sea of fur 
The Loony leaves the earth 
 
His conscious is receding
In life, he’s found the meaning 
He tells them “Please don’t leave me!”
(He) Feels like he is weeping
 
The Lunatic writes in his head 
The tip is out of lead
Everyone screams and shouts 
It all simply restarts 
 
It all calms down
Everything goes around
Everyone’s cheery, but The Dreary 
He sits alone, calls her on the phone
 
“Help! The walls are breathing
No one seems to hear me.”
“Do you see what I see?
On the floor above me.”
 
It all falls down
Gets turned around
Now he has a frown
Goodbye, lighted town
 
As it’s getting cold,
He’s growing old
His thoughts are coming back
Building on the stack
 
He stands above the track
Passing where he’s been before
He’s lost in his thoughts
Ones that never seem to stop.
