Dark Water

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness.

Count my blessings. Poke out my eyes.

Privilege magnified & shoved in my face

When I walk through the tunnels where

The invalids lay.

I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed.

With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread.

My labors of toil. My labors of love.

Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun.

We're all dangerously close to the bottom.

Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut.

In the wink of an eye. In the inky night.

I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why.

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness.

Count my blessings - Claw out my eyes.

There's no rain to wash the piss stench away

When I walk through the tunnels where the invalids lay.

I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed.

With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread.

My labors of toil. My labors of lust.

Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun.

We're all dangerously close to the bottom.

Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut.

In the wink of an eye. In the inky night.

I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why.
