Don't tell me I can't, I will
Every time I fall, I'll fly higher still
Don't make me stand in the light
Leave me in my peaceful night
Don't push the limits that I set
You don't know darkness yet
Truth, the burn of dry ice searing the soul
The cold flames devouring me whole
Such a cruel and relentless fire
What can snuff the flames of frozen desire?
I look on a world that's such a weary sight
I'm tired of seeing all this black and white
Please come and paint over eveything
I long for the vision it will bring
If you would just be my lover
I could live in a world of color
A world of blue, fuscia, green, and more
Given to me by the one I adore
I sat in silence counting my breath
In and out makes 1
In and out makes 2
So it went on and each count bringing me closer to sanity's death
Through the silence I could hear the faucet
Like bombs going off
Drip, drip, drip
As the eyes rove to the clock, I sigh
Only 1 in the morning
Too early and too late
Perfect for the inhumanly nocturnal human
Drip, drip, drip
In and out
The eyes settle once more on the clock
The minutes pass so slowly
Time drags like weary feet after a long summer day
In and out
If only there were something to distract
If only there was somethign to drown out the faucet other than the refrigerator
Buuuzzz
Drip, drip, drip
A symphony of sound to declare my madness
In and out
The steady rhythm of nothing to fill the evening
On and on it goes without an end in sight
I wonder if my mind will finally crack tonight?
Drip, drip, drip
