Spiralled Lights

Won’t fall asleep till it’s dawn

Not until my slumber calls

Spent all my night wondering

What’s keeping me stumbling

My body backed to the wall

Another step and I’ll fall

These nights inspire lunacy

That’s why I

I can’t get by on spiralled lights

Painted faces of pseudo ecstasy

And somehow my - wavered mind

Got lost along the way

The crimson sky

Won’t fall asleep until dawn

My sanity put on pause

And time is slipping away

My blood it flows all the same

I wish I knew how to talk

To illustrate what I saw

The smoke that rose from her jaw

My body slumped on the floor

That’s why I

I can’t get by on spiralled lights

Painted faces of pseudo ecstasy

And somehow my - wavered mind

Got lost along the way

The crimson sky

I can’t get by on spiralled lights

Painted faces throwing sounds into the night

And somehow I, I can’t survive

My waning empathy, the crimson sky
