Everyone's asleep
In the house but me
They've long since
Caved in

To the promise of dreams

Everyone's asleep
Suspending reality
Trying to walk a straight line
But it's so hard with these crossed eyes

Everyone's asleep
While I wrestle with the heat
This aging sweat-stained
Silhouette

Knows that the deviant in me
Wants to go out
I've a thirst for skirts
And hell to raise

Won't someone sing into my mouth
And I'll do the same

I'm killing time
In a ghost town
Dim lights
And dull sounds

So this is what it's like
To be dead
And leave behind
Little more than

A stain on the carpet
