Go to sleep…You’ve been awake too long…
Night’s gone, and it’s way past dawn…
The sun’s been setting on your dreams
your life’s coming apart at the seams.
Fall asleep in your stagnant state
find a way to be anything…but awake.

Hide behind the glowing screen

the monitor casts a greenish sheen

on your glazed eyes and drooling tongue,

while you tell the world how well your hung

Tell them your lies in disguise

hope they don’t open their eyes

and sense your lack of sensitivity
or try to discern the negativity.

exercise your demons and lost innocence
deal with the lies your life really represents.
We’ve got a winner in the winter of social depravity.
Find something else to stuff into that cavity.



You lost long ago, you’ve been in denial.
lived your life like you’ve been on trial…
born bloodstained & guilty, you thought it wasn’t so
now you’re left with no where to go…
So sleep, deep in a slumber of another number
where you awaken smarter, in the land of the dumber.
