Wasted, a nights rest

Wasted, a nights rest

 

 

Lights from passing cars play

Tricks with the Shadows.

Two can play at this game.

 

Lights in my head,

Tricks in my brain,

Two flashes with every heartbeat

 

A beat,

A theme,

A song,

For pain

 

Flash boom-boom flash

Flash boom-boom flash

 

Lightning shooting through my eyes,

Tricks to keep my mind from the pain,

Too much the burden,

 

Lightly press my temples,

Trick myself it is gone,

Two, three, four, five,

 

The day,

The morning,

The night,

Wasted,

 

Flash boom-boom flash

Flash boom-boom flash

 

Light crashes like breaking windshields,

Trick the day into leaving,

Too much, too soon

 

Light ebbs, the pills kick in

Tricking my head,

Tonight I will rest,

 

Into sleep my aching body creeps.
