twist
pull
rip
tear
repeat

the desk needs tidying
tea boxes scattered
focus on the bed
the comfy bed that
needs to be made
but no one can make you leave

pace 3 steps
you took four
back 5 steps

maybe an hour
in the comfy bed
yea, two hours

3 hours
rise
twist
pull

the desk needs tidying
class missed

pace 4 steps
be fair
back 4 steps

maybe a half hour
tear blanket from bed
but it is dinner time
rip skin

repeat

waves crashing
child splashing
newborn baby
growing up crazy

teenage years
mom brought to tears
boy crisist
bro's advice is
let it be
thats the key

key to her heart
then the love starts
heart get broken
she starts smokin'

slowly dieing
eyes are cryin'
begining of sadness
she stops the madness

hits adult stage
makin minimum wage
she's tryin'
still survivin'

kids of her own
livin' off a loan
but makin her way
her kids always say
no matter what, she cares
and by their side, shes there

kiss on the cheek
she don't feel weak
sick of the pain
startin' to gain

her kids grow up and in college
gettin more knowledge
she's gettin' older
but she's strong like a soldier

she lives it through till the end
before she passes all ties mend
her daughter becomes a wife
then sadly the end of mom's life

In the winter you will lie
soul beguiled and rested eye
deathly dreams that dream to die
In the dead of dusk

In December you will sleep
Stowed away the dreams you keep
The sea inside you, swirling deep
In the dead of dusk

Daytime thoughts of innocence
happiness and diligence
follow you to requiem
In the dead of dusk

Lightest thoughts on surface, you
forget about what's real
what's true
until the dusk envelops you
that dead and demon dusk

Now Winter's winds are calling you
shadows cast on what is true
white cat, now black cat
sun now moon
in the dead of dusk

Everything you thought you knew
sleep will twist and mangle you
nightmares creep inside of you
in the dead of dusk

Morning follows
sun rises up
nightmares dangle on the cusp
disappear now,
Twelve hours burn up
then drag you down
back to the dead of dusk
