Comforting the Disturbed and Disturbing the Comfortable - Dead to Me

Coyotes lurking on Sunset Boulevard have become self aware

Last night one stopped just to ask me

«Is it true, you’ve stared at the abyss?»

I said «Yes, yes… of course I have, but was so let down when it just stared

back

So I buried my songs in the backyard.»

The coyote gave a coy smile and said «The very thing you observe becomes the

master that you serve»

Ahh, danger!

It’s so exciting and damn if it ain’t fun though

Damn if it ain’t fun though

That is until there’s a payphone at the psych ward that knows me by my first

name

There’s a payphone at the psych ward that knows me by my first name now

True

Blood rush

Slow breath

The weight of things I can’t control!

Blood rush

Slow breath

The weight of things I can’t control!

The dream is that you awaken from a deep sleep, wake up suddenly damp and

panicked and are overwhelmed with the sudden feeling that there is a

distillation of total evil in this dark strange subdorm room with you,

that evil’s essence and center is right here, in this room, right now.

And is for you alone

Aching Anger and crushing boredom

It’s no wonder there’s a war

In my head that rages on

As I walk slowly through the store

Staring blankly, ugly vacant

Still at times I miss that life

In fleeting moments or in a romantic daydream

As I walk slowly through the store

You’re never going to change… you’ll always be the same… it’s pointless so

don’t try!

You’re never going to change… you’ll always be the same… besides who am I

to want a better life!!!

The coyotes down on Sunset Boulevard are self aware

Late last night, one stopped and asked me

«Have you stared at the abyss?»
