The kisses from your lips
For they are the wine
That have left me intoxicated

I'm not saying that I want to die.
Not right now, anyway.
But lately, I just want to sleep.
To sleep and never wake.
I'm so tired.
Tired of everything.

I like the sound of the rain
washing away the silent day

And the lonely call
of a home-bound train

A mournful morning
kind of pain

....Give me the sound
of a blue bluejay

over the busy noise
that mocks my ways

I want to pack my bag
and fetch my dog

Whistle a tune
while we walk along...

Come on girl
It's starting to rain

I hear the sound
of the lonesome train

and the blue bluejay
calling my name

(Here's where yer sposed to whistle)

i’m just so tired...
i wish the world would just be
quiet
nothing but silent
no screaming - yelling - noices
or voices
i wish the world
and the voices in my head
would just shut up and be quiet
give me some rest for once
is that really too much to ask for?

*(s.m)

It seems that the sun,
Is setting upon the optimist

There's a fracture in my consciousness
Telling me to move on and forget her
And I'm really trying
But she's still got her hands
Wrapped around my neck
Squeezing as tightly as ever
Just this time from a distance
And on the other side of the barriers
We've built between us
And I'm praying that the hand of god
Will strike me down
Or the epiphany of true wakefulness
Makes it's presence known.

I can only take so much.
