The ever wakeful dreamer
Upon my shoulder sits
The whispers in my ear
The melancholic fits

A truth blinding my eyes
Is an unwelcome guest
It's an unwelcome thought
A tired unwelcome jest

And I lean
On this broken straw I lean
The promises I made
The patience wearing thin
The constant threat of time
The hope dragging behind
The calling of the hives
The crippling waste of lives

A rattling revelation
Of everything that's lost
Sends all to find shelter
Inside a younger host

This noisome self delusion
Of everything that's free
A sanitation warning
For everyone to flee

Time for me to see
