Today I woke and couldn't stop thinking Of fear Inside the car, it was all quiet I saw abandoned buildings With their windows stripped Bricks gaping like a flesh wound The streets were empty, unforgivingly bare All this stony silence Felt like I was in a ghost town And I couldn't stop thinking Couldn't stop thinking I felt the seconds widen I filled my heart with poison Where was I? I saw all the signs of impending doom Throbbing and pulsing And then we just zoomed past it all There was nothing. Just a nothing town. Funny how a nothing can hold so much of something For all my melancholy musings All I did was go home And write poems about dead people on the rooftop Wouldn't you have liked to find me up there When I went to sleep and dreamed about them once again

For All My Melancholy Musings
Today I woke and couldn't stop thinking Of fear Inside the car, it was all quiet I saw abandoned buildings With their windows stripped Bricks gaping like a flesh wound The streets were empty, unforgivingly bare All this stony silence Felt like I was in a ghost town And I couldn't stop thinking Couldn't stop thinking I felt the seconds widen I filled my heart with poison Where was I? I saw all the signs of impending doom Throbbing and pulsing And then we just zoomed past it all There was nothing. Just a nothing town. Funny how a nothing can hold so much of something For all my melancholy musings All I did was go home And write poems about dead people on the rooftop Wouldn't you have liked to find me up there When I went to sleep and dreamed about them once again
