art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed


I stay awake all night,

as the sun finally goes to bed.

The moon greets me like an old friend,

but I know there is a side to him I can't see.

So I walk into his house blind-sided,

with my arms open for surrender.

 

During the day nightmares haunt me,

"come," says the dark, "everyone will be too scared to bother you here"

And I take the serenity over the battle

even if a white flag is the way they won. 

 

By this time of twilight the crikets have rested their legs,

I look around but even the voice ushering me into the blackness is gone,

I am too far in space for any noise vibrations.

 

Years pass but they are only lifetimes,

all I wanted was for my song to be heard,

was it?

I believe I am speaking into the wrong microphone,

becuase no one is calling back to me.

 

Even when I was alone, I had myself,

and I have found a way to escape my own prison,

now I just need to break out of the handcuffs holding me hostage.

 

The years weren't lifetimes,

they were a portion of one,

a portion of mine.

 

The sun has awoken,

and so have the crickets.

I may be scarred with the nightmares,

but i can hear myself thinking.

we all sink, and we all sink so far that we only drift. but if you try hard enough, you can fight any battle and beat any addiction.
