Everyone's asleep
In the house but me
They've long since
Caved in
To the promise of dreams

Everyone's asleep
Suspending reality
I'm trying to walk a straight line
But it's so hard with these crossed eyes…

Everyone's asleep
While I wrestle with the heat
This aging sweat-stained
Silhouette
Knows that the deviant in me
Wants to go out

I've a thirst for skirts
And hell to raise
Won't someone sing into my mouth
And I'll do the same

I'm killing time
In a ghost town
Dim lights
And dull sounds
So this is what it's like
To be dead
And leave behind
Little more than
A stain in the carpet
