On a Bender - Lowercase

A rescue party was sent

But when it started in

I pushed away the hands

And then turned over

Had you known that I would break free

Would you still be sober

It came to rest just when

I’d harnessed all the din

An emptiness within

Produced once louder

Oh do you know the tune

Of my insomnia

Who’s sung to sleep each night

A lesser man of wakened fright

Can you see the glass within my eyes

Can you see that I’m oh so tired

I can’t see the difference in my life

The dreams have all expired

Staid and walleyed

Made to wallow in

It ends your urge to be purged

By the finger that once pointed at you

Staid and walleyed

Made to wallow in

It ends your hope to be choked

By the nausea that creeps up in your throat
