A body that doesn't sleep
Makes for a mind that doesn't keep

Unhinged chaos shattered night silence
The elephant in the room finally caved in

This one bled
this one prayed
This one laughed
this one played

Crow strewn solidarity through a black and white perception

A childish world left to it's own devices

Wanting trees
Neglected joy
Parks for the ***** stained fantasy

A vacant lot
A vacant eye
A knowing nod
A cosmic sigh

Crash course slum
Head first tendency
Simple machinery
Mainline normalcy

A memory of simpler times
left shaking and hysterical

Ride the steam till morning
Grand plans in the a.m.
Shrugged off in the p.m.

Pick and choose if the body must

But it all leads back to insomniac blues

This crowded room may consume
But this body may not betray
Constrict my motion for a moment
But vacant eyes have nothing to say

Misplaced my mind for amusement
Hoping to pass the time
Replaced my lie with atonement
Hoping to pass the crime

I walk past the rewind statements
No answer for the sighs
I hear them ask about my health
Knowing full well they despise

"I hear you write?"
"I hear you fight?"
"I hear you died back in 2009?"
"How about a breather?"
"How about this weather?"
"Whatever happened to your mind?"

I mouth words for mercy sake

"Excuse me but do you have the time? You see I have this meeting with sanity and I'm already late"

Brains shake negative
Slow motion disapproval
Make my exit...
Overwhelmed by the colors
I forgot my shade

These holes I dig
I fear become mandatory
When I attempt
to make sense of the rest
