Im stuck in a jail cell without any bars. My nights pitch black; cant see any stars. Im stuck in traffic; but there aint no cars. Drunk in my head; never been to bars.
My clocks broken but I hear the tick. I'm a magician but I dont have a trick. I cant take medicine even though Im sick. They say Im slow but Im quick. The windows closed but I feel the breeze.
Sometimes I feel so very small,. Tears fall, I don't know why,. The ground just wants to eat me whole,. The earth wants me to cry,. I feel like I'm not needed,. In this universal plan,.

I'm lost please find me, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. It's all so dark when I'm alone. I don't like it when my future is unknown. I'll count the minutes till I'm saved.
Im hiding in the corner of a giant sphere. Its called the world; oh how I do fear. All the evil; all those out to smear. I would not allow them to get so near.
Swallow me up with sadness. A hard metal blade. To my drowning thoughts of madness. It's my time to go; I'll be brave. Not sure what to think. Of my sanity that you took.

#nightdwellers I am a nightdweller, But it's light now and I'm lying in my bed, My head hurts as the alka seltzer slowly kicks in, And I start to remember what I said.
I walk. I eat. I sleep. I touch. I see. I smell. I hurt. I ache. I long. I am all but I am not. I do things for necessity. I breath for the sake of breathing. I work to have a job.
Hush little baby don't you cry, Mommas gonna sing you a lullaby. Now I ain't gonna lie, The worlds not a nice place sweetie pie. Where men kill friends over trivial things.

Butterflies flutter, Fly high I sit here and I cry. If only I had wings, I could take off to better things. But no, I sit here and I see, I don't know who is 'me'.

The pressure's on, The stove is lit, My future's tied, My path is split. Where am I drifting, Where am I going, Where is life heading, Where is life flowing.
