I’ve heard a ringing in my ears The past few days Around the same time each day I wonder If it is alarm bells Frantically going off In the fog inside my brain Because there was no warning About the rocks at the forefront of my subconscious No light, no sound, no nothing And maybe the boats were coming Carrying supplies to fix my dilapidated lighthouses But the fog is so deep And gray and endless I wonder if it would even make a difference To fix them Still I hear ringing Maybe the boats knew This was a suicide mission And they instead brought bombs on board Intending to hit the rocks And blow up every one And blow up my lighthouses too Blow up everything And then My mind would be blank The waters would be still The world would be quiet I think I’d like that

The lighthouse
I’ve heard a ringing in my ears The past few days Around the same time each day I wonder If it is alarm bells Frantically going off In the fog inside my brain Because there was no warning About the rocks at the forefront of my subconscious No light, no sound, no nothing And maybe the boats were coming Carrying supplies to fix my dilapidated lighthouses But the fog is so deep And gray and endless I wonder if it would even make a difference To fix them Still I hear ringing Maybe the boats knew This was a suicide mission And they instead brought bombs on board Intending to hit the rocks And blow up every one And blow up my lighthouses too Blow up everything And then My mind would be blank The waters would be still The world would be quiet I think I’d like that
I genuinely did have a ringing in my ears
