Alarm

You're out surfing the commercials

As perfect as a circle when you come around

But the more i pour into your thirsty soul

The less i have to hold

And when'd i get so old?

Spent up too much time

Discount kitchen wine

Almost bought that farm

Til i heard an alarm

And it still rings

A shrill thing that comes to find me killing time

He screams in my face

"The dream's a rat race! set a fast pace! you're in last place!"

Get dizzy without the distance

Busy and out the door for a chore, for an instant only

And then i get so lonely

Twisting up tunes, tangling wires

See you so soon

Soon as that fire alarm is disarmed

I'm allowed to love this life only one time

You're what it's for, but it's still mine

And when you get so lonely

It's breaking my heart harder than art

I'm the town crier, drowning out fire alarms

Razor clam

Bone marrow

Bon voyage!

I'll miss you so

What you say

Every word

Pets my brain

Makes it purr

Take your voice

Spit your fire

Split that noise

Those spinning tires

Be my net on the wire

See my bet and raise it higher

I'm all in

Sometimes when you snooze, you win
