I went away to see some friends that I had made Back in brighter days They had not aged they just found a very cozy cage And that was where they stayed The sunlight barely carved its way into the room The windows painted on the walls And I found no answers No cures no cancers No path no brighter way
Uninvited guests in our heads best arrested Questioning our time Entertained to death At best a peaceful unrest Sleep with open eyes I'll swim in hell and I will get to know it well And all the birds will sing their song inside my cell To a couch-bound scarecrow with a desk-bound stare so dense Blow out the candles now
And when I stop to look There's no more need for thoughts or books Just a mouth and eyes The dead connections fed the buzz and crackle in my head Memorize your lines
