Again sleep escapes me, far away
You're the whisper in the back of my head
Teething, serrated and smiling
Knee-deep in this hopeless wreckage
A heartbreak
To tear me apart
Swallowed by the vast, all-consuming
Demanding you here
This uncontrollable hell
A lightless abode
A sleepless complete black
Where ghosts come to me
Through every hole
In each and every wall
Wish I could just sleep
Wish I could explain
Wish I could change the way of things
Wish I would fall away
It's a slow closure
A cold shape crawling behind me
A storm approaching
A darkness always closer
I ever thought it could
Can never see it coming
The world I'm in is empty
Outside I think I choke
Somehow I can't help thinking
There is no place for me
(the noise in my head won't leave)
"all fled--all done
So lift me on the pyre
The feast is over
And the lamps expire. "
[Robert E. Howard (1906-1936)]
Something's quite not right Again sleep escapes me, far away You're the whisper in the back of my head Teething, serrated and smiling Knee-deep in this hopeless wreckage A heartbreak To tear me apart Swallowed by the vast, all-consuming Demanding you here This uncontrollable hell A lightless abode A sleepless complete black Where ghosts come to me Through every hole In each and every wall Wish I could just sleep Wish I could explain Wish I could change the way of things Wish I would fall away It's a slow closure A cold shape crawling behind me A storm approaching A darkness always closer I ever thought it could Can never see it coming The world I'm in is empty Outside I think I choke Somehow I can't help thinking There is no place for me (the noise in my head won't leave) "all fled--all done So lift me on the pyre The feast is over And the lamps expire.
