A Line Allows Progress, a Circle Does Not |
Sitting around, no work today |
Try pacing to keep awake |
Laying around, no school today |
Just drink until the clock has circled all the way |
It is late afternoon |
As you walk through the rooms |
Of a house that is quiet |
Except for unanswered telephones |
You stand near the sink |
While you’re mixing a drink |
You think you don’t want to pass out |
Where your roommates will find you again |
Stumble around the neighborhood with nothing to do |
You’re always looking for something |
To sniff, smoke, or swallow |
Calling over next door to see what they got |
But you would settle for anything |
That would make your brain slow down or stop |
Break this circle of thoughts you chase |
Before they catch back up with you |
And your parents noticed your thinning face |
All the weight you lost |
All the weight you are losing |
You said, «I'm done feeling like a skeleton |
No more sleep walking dead» |
You’re going to wake from this coma |
You’re going to crawl from this bed you have made |
And stop counting on that camera |
That hangs round your neck |
Because it won’t ever remember |
What you choose to forget |
As you try to find some source of light |
Try to name one thing you like |
You used to have such a longer list |
And light you never had to look for it |
But now it’s so easy to second guess everything you do |
Until all you want is to finish this half empty glass |
Before the ice melts away |
This feeling always used to pass |
But seems like it’s every day |
Seems like it’s every night now |
