Tired

Im tired
You’re always tired.




Can’t you see
Can’t you understand
That these deep dark dammed ugly waves keen on pulling me in
Are pulling me down

Down
Down
Down

Into these hard cold ugly places and keep on making me scream but
I keep on choking
I’m suffocating
Can’t catch any wind
Can’t find wings to fly
Fly with the eagles
The eagles are calling me up

Up Up
Up into the heavens they’re screeching
Round circles begging me to come fly with them higher
Higher
Higher in those sunsoaked summer skies salt

Salt keeps on stinging at my scars
Cold is pushing needles into my skin
There are thin icy fingers inside of me

GET OUT OF ME

But greedy grabbing
They’ll try to eat me alive
I’m getting heavy legs from kicking them away
Kicking upwards
Why are my pockets full of lead
Where did my coins for the ferryman

Go

Get away
Get back to the surface
Pull Kick Claw Crane Thrash
Stay alive

But I’m being swallowed
It’s pulling me in
Deeper

Deeper down

Into these depths of despair
Trying to breathe
But I’m taking on water
It’s sticking in my throat
Tongue turns to stone
My lungs roar like the tiger
AIR AIR AIR

Fresh air from the sky
Soar up to the screeching
They’re calling me screeching
Don’t fall asleep don’t
Don’t fall asleep
Don’t sleep stay awake
Just keep treading the water
Still

I’m tired now
Tired now
