Cuckoo

Wake up disoriented

Head pounding loud

I think the lies are warring

Swording in my head

Air lying stagnant

Hasn’t woken

From the battle of the broken

Wonder if it’s dead

 

Cuckoo

 

Tripping over memories

I stashed upon the table

If I’m able

I can break them with my fall

Drained from all the screaming

And the crying and the bleeding

Did it help me to forget

I can’t recall

 

Two o’clock outside and the time stands still

As I’m standing in the stillness of the darkest light

Another cloud rolls by and it chimes inside my head

Cuckoo, another hour’s gone by

 

Cuckoo

 

Set my dreams on fire

And the after stench of alcohol

Is rising with the smoke of my mistakes

Smell hunger on the stove

So I feed the flames with gasoline

I’ll burn it down and hope my soul will take

 

Three o’clock outside and the time stands still

As I’m standing in the stillness of the darkest light

Another cloud rolls by and it chimes inside my head

Cuckoo, another hour’s gone by

 

Cuckoo

 

Chasing schemes of apathy

And praying you are bad for me in time

Devil’s on my mind

Hoping for a sweet mirage

Of good old fashioned sabotage

Bending to the ending of my time

 

Four o’clock outside and the time stands still

As I’m standing in the stillness of the darkest light

Another cloud rolls by and it chimes inside my head

Cuckoo, another hour’s gone by

 

And now the door is open

And I’ll have to go outside

Now that the light

Is slowly creeping in my cave

You’ll ask what I’ve been up to

And I”ll smile as I reply

And force a lie

Before I return to my grave

 

Cuckoo
