CLEARER NOW

�Why do we hide the stench of death?
We are already dead inside�

I'm saying something
I'm saying nothing
To myself
The loneliest
Believing reason
Committing treason
To myself
The loneliest

And something dark moves past my eye
It stole my attention for a moment
The smoke is clearer in my head
Broke the mirror
I was looking through
I am the same in my own way
Broken on the floor
Eating shards and drinking blood
Clearer now

A dream I had
Dead look in my eyes
Silver from my head
Hits the arm I bled
A crimson stand
Holds the cigarette
Burning in the black
Crossed the riverbed
And this dream I had
Woke me up to see
I am drowning here
In my deepest fear

And something shallow breaks the sound barrier
Destroying all the highlights of the night
I find myself staring into the sky
I think it's my hand that's reaching for the stars
The earth is cold and wet below me
A rain drop hits my eye so gently
There is no one to say farewell to
There never was

So is this where I depart?
Waiting for the end to start
I see the sun once more
And lay my head down to sleep
