drawn in again, another night lost
dreaming of the day the water rushes in
sometimes i forget to turn the light off
crashed out sitting upright after 4AM
the sun rose in the western sky
didn’t strike me as odd at the time
but then again i could not shift my eyes
away from the clouds on fire
i turn around i can no longer doubt i’ve
spun off and lost it now
open my mouth but i can’t figure out how
to make any sound come out
raised up in church, i guess it makes sense
used to hope i’d be alive to watch the world end
preacher alluded to it every now and then
fixated solely on what’d been promised him
