send me to bed.

my head's drowning out the thick and blurry sounds

of horses on the highway.

the days are running down

and i'm drowning out this overwhelming sad.



send me to bed, and tamp out the lamp.

in the dark the colors fade

to shades of grey and black.

but the city's fireflies wash the bedroom with light

like an overwhelming sad.



i must be drowning out..the roar of the engines

as they escape into night.

the stillness unravels the long lost strands of our lives.

they drift out the window, they drift out to sea;

and i fall asleep.

to an overwhelming sad.
