What, to my surprise, appears behind my bloodshot eyes
To deceive and delude another nights peaceful interlude
Serenity interrupted by this sandman so corrupted
As my thoughts turn a cartwheel within the surreal
This maze full of nothing demands my mistrusting
Doors opening into bricks as my eyes they play tricks
Tumbling upwards shouting “why?!” into an oceanic sky
As nonsense fills my head, with black, white and red
The crazy ass clock mocks with it’s ticks and it’s tocks
Believing that I’m scared to see my rationality unspared
I hide in plain sight so illusions find me night after night
Because what they don’t know is this ain’t my first show
Patiently waiting at the station for my train to damnation
Mental bags are all packed full of the bizarre and abstract
So now I lay me down to sleep, my sanity surely yours to keep
Or at least to borrow, til the morning sun delivers tomorrow
