inter-twine

I bare the cloak of my shadow          
    though; I do not live with his shame        
I bare the cloak of my shadow          
  though; I do not move with his name    
         
     
Discontinued at one end          
then in comes      
        the screaming        
Peeling all over  
& I don't believe          
  that I'm dreaming          
         
Your calling to cancel          
but I need the attention        
Tripping over my toe's        
as if I needed to mention        
I've spread myself thin          
& can't handle the tension        
      Of being pulled away          
by this evil invention        
         
                           Disrupted again;          
                       By images of the past        
         Interrupted again:        
    How long will it last?        
         
Somehow, someway;          
 This blanket covers me        
           Hiding out          
before someone        
   Discovers me        
Exposing the true colors          
of black, white & red        
Painted by number          
to blend in with the dead        
       
         Sleep-walking through lyfe        
Masquerading as a hero        
         I keep talking          
    to the wall        
Counting backwards        
to zero...
