neither here nor there in our unity of twine
solitary sanity, traded in for life

once we crawled into the artificial night
all was left & i arrived on your time

there in the collision
wish answers could arrive
was i kept up for this
did the physical emotion
break the fall of sleep?

it;s in here eating
it;s down there drinking
be with me, not against me
bear with it, love against me

an icicle trust
to soothe the disorder
between the eyes
where the well is the deepest

& so unease carried words
that spoke of no matter
was i held here for this?
did the path of devotion stray from what you felt?

once i thought that what no time can heal
is here, in me. but time proved me wrong
deeper still toward an outward pride
no more lies - i;m here on your time

music: michael ball; i dreamed a dream
