place: mattress position: akimbo as i welcome the essence of the deafeningly whimsical my brainwaves reel and stutter in limbo keeping pace with the noise from across the street as wisps of wind drift in to usher me in and out of sleep until i close my window turn on my electric heat and play these soft beats take a pause slack jawed mouth agog hold the applause pause the fervor let nature nurture these drones built to rise and paint on silence starry skies space heater by your bedside in the faraway of your room worry dissolves around you i'm absolved and the tension's through my stance is now open hands with muscles loose time crawls as i sprawl pressing pause is self preservation there's no law any nation or clause in tiny font to keep you from the rest you want time was money now it's glue tomorrow it begins anew all my sorrows can be mute rest is worth the sun, earth, stars, and moon so i owe it to myself to self soothe toss and turn it sparks haze foggy head please dissipate i am lost in tired pain so i get up and i sway towards the next day unseen force of exhaustion i'm pacing night walking back and forth on floor well trod hoping that my thoughts will stop eyes sandy on the spot oh my god my heat's on and i've been awake for far too long my insomnia may be strong so i'll play this song until i'm gone pardon the ignorance in the pops and hiss but to rest is to submit yourself to amateurish, childish bliss hence the clips and sibilance let dreams shuffle your experience please remember this turn your heater off before you drift into unconsciousness
