when the odds are unkind
and the spark don't ignite anymore
beg for tomorrow and rest your head
naturally, you'd rather be a somnambulist instead
ribs of the birds ring 'round fingers
forsaken unkind
salt of the earth that shimmers
turning their blinds
still a yard to unwind
shave the bark, bend the spine further more
as you lay out the scenes of your tourniquet
you're wearing out, you're tearing out your seems instead
ah - slow wave sleep stage
