eyeswideopen

I'm coming home
Alone once again
I'm on my own
Freeway's dim
I watch lights swim

Drifting through lanes
Float in and out of earthly planes
My mind slips
Dark starts
And sits

Back in my bed
Not a thought in my head
But the empty of this night
I thought it'd be better
I guess I'm a quitter
Who's home before midnight
Eyes open

If I could sleep
I'm sure I'd dream of rivers deep
And waters red
I'd sink
Like lead

And there I'd rest
Lay my head down in cold caress
Bittersweet
To freeze
At peace

Back in my bed
Not a thought in my head
But the empty of this night
I thought it'd be better
I guess I'm a quitter
Who's home before midnight
Eyes open

Sink
Into myself
Now there's nothing else
Just me
Falling fast
And I can't go back
And it stays
Thought it might pass
But so far it lasts
So I lay
Here in the black
With eyes wide open

Back in my bed
Not a thought in my head
But the empty of this night
I thought it'd be better
I guess I'm a quitter
Who's home before midnight
Eyes open
