so the story goes
When the days are so short you sleep through the light
and everybody knows
but nobody says how we're fighting the fight
Now every night I'm slain
by your hand on my back as I slip into the dark
when the long night falls again
I'm blinded by the smallest spark
One sip of diginity and you'd better drive
One act of kindness and I'm buried alive
'cause trapped inside of my head with the panic and dread
is this live wire
and so we hold it in
all the whirl and buzz and damage it does
but when the walls are thin
we can hear that we're all one step from the fall
though my insulation's not as thick as it was or maybe should be
I believe without hesitation I'm cast in steel when you reach for me
the smallest thing, a moment's peace, and I let somebody in
suddenly I'm sparks and fire
I wake and lay eyes on you and the world falls away
and I am left with this live wire

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities.
In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
