Dark Water

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness. Count my blessings. Poke out my eyes. Privilege magnified & shoved in my face When I walk through the tunnels where The invalids lay. I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed. With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread. My labors of toil. My labors of love. Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun. We're all dangerously close to the bottom. Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut. In the wink of an eye. In the inky night. I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why. Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness. Count my blessings - Claw out my eyes. There's no rain to wash the piss stench away When I walk through the tunnels where the invalids lay. I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed. With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread. My labors of toil. My labors of lust. Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun. We're all dangerously close to the bottom. Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut. In the wink of an eye. In the inky night. I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why.
