life is pale, but bright
yellow as the moon
that keeps us awake
you give and you take
in the depths of the night
always leaving a bite for me
always leaving the door unlocked
my nose is blocked
my system shocked
sore legs and dizzy heads
shared beds
i starve and i thirst
so take life
and drink it to the dregs
drink til i burst
overfilled cups
empty water bottles
lost keys and wasted time
never wasted i guess
time is never wasted
even if it’s spent on
spending, giving
hurting and taking
sleeping and healing
too much feeling
try to find words
try to find meaning
it’s not that deep
just go to sleep
tomorrow you’ll wake up
with an empty stomach
and a clear head
ready for more
ready to devour the day
ready to speak strongly
work hard
and sing better songs
