If insomnia were a bicycle, I’d ride it As I watch my yawn open eye Wide awake I’d smell the roses trace their spikes and wear their lipstick And pardon me if dreamers can’t smell it A fever akin to a violin’s soundest Cutting right through 4AM with a blade of flicker and undestined dim I’d ride past the bus stop I walk to everyday Hang my black coat and never claim it again Ride past the point where I’d make it to work on time But my boss to never see my face again And if the hour hand were any slower I swear… I’d finally meet you And when I do finally see you our glass cages will then shatter Out of the wreckage, a new kind of disaster A happy one but I’d have to warn you I don’t have time for greeting cards There are no lungs in paper Life is a box of limbs And that, I would open And you bet! That, I’d claim If insomnia were a bicycle, I’d ride it Straight into the sunset, I’d watch the sunrise
