Let Me Back Into the Sun.

Silently the glass shatters in a slow motion concede.
Your eyes roll back and in that frozen moment fall asleep.
The witness orbits gradually, the camera and the day,
A perfect single frame to hold and cast this life away.

Ever fallen from a dream and crashed into your soft bed?
Cascaded into childhood? The scent of words unsaid?
Trapped within the moment you joined puzzle and solution,
Just reach out slow, you can touch the stuff of resolution.

Sing to the waves and momentum, your stomach in the stars.
A race to frozen nebula's that hold you in their arms.
Totality a blanket under which we fall asleep,
The witness orbits faster now, and just not quite as sweet.

Waterlogged and turning grey, looks like you pissed the bed.
Bloodshot eyes with twitching lids, a vampire unfed.
Let it all wash off you though, just slide right back in deep,
I have the lament on my lips, it's song to make you weep.

Vomit is a story told, blood is just self pity.
Let me back into the sun, help escape the city.
All the ice is melted now, the world it spins too fast.
Couldn't claw your way back now, that cold space just too vast.

Euphoria is a fleeting thing, and more so if you give chase.
The godhead grins in punishment as often as in grace.
Chew on the embers as you run, find yourself filled with light -
Watch it burn you inside out, screaming through the night.
