To Sleep

My world slides out of focus

I drift on night-haunts and fantasies

Slipping into the unspoken wanderlust

Before my heart caves in on itself

I drift on night-haunts and fantasies

Playing back the day's scratched, torn film reel

Before my heart caves in on itself

I flick on my lamp and tumble from bed

Playing back the day's scratched, torn film reel

I question why

I flick on my lamp and tumble from bed 

When Doubt caresses me, like many things crawling

I question why

My eyes are strained emptiness

When Doubt caresses me like many things crawling

And I give in to his advances

My eyes are strained emptiness

I push away all feeling

And I give into his advances

Drenching my neon in nothingness

I push away all feeling

My world slides out of focus

Drenching my neon in nothingness

Slipping into the unspoken wanderlust
