To sleep perchance to dream
I hope.
Can I will myself to survive
I wish.
Last wish.
Last dying wish to live.
I took the anti-step
Just now
Nothing to live for so long
You see.
And nothing to die for either
I fear.
On this long
Long long
Way down.
When I hit the bottom
My body will break
If a miracle happens
And I’m mended some day
Do I have to believe?
Will I lose my edge?
I’m not like those others
Who went before ME
No sentimentality here
You see
With my back to my city
I’ve got nothing
To wave to
On this long
Long long
Way down.
My heart yearns for those worries
Of that world I left behind
My lungs fill with regret
On this journey
So long
So long
So long.
And, here’s a live performance at Sidewalk Café with my scrappy Avant accordion brain smash!:
