wasted

alone at ten
trying to sleep with the lights on again
i’m losing hope
no place that i know
so far to go
until i feel at home

i’m wasting my time
trying to find
a reason to rhyme
a reason why
strange things
are happening in my mind
(is crawling)
facing the mess that i leave behind
(is falling)

i don’t know if i can
i keep my head in the sand
i can’t stand the way
i destroy everything in me

break my thoughts on the shore
(wade out into it)
grind my teeth wanting more
(wade out into it)
time has dragged me for miles
(wade out into it)
drown in sleep for a while
(wade out into it)
