Dark Water

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness

Count my blessings. Poke out my eyes

Privilege magnified & shoved in my face

When I walk through the tunnels where

The invalids lay

I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed

With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread

My labors of toil. My labors of love

Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun

We're all dangerously close to the bottom

Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut

In the wink of an eye.. In the inky night

I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why

Balance is bittersweet when all you know is madness

Count my blessings - Claw out my eyes

There's no rain to wash the piss stench away

When I walk through the tunnels where the invalids lay

I'm wading in dark water when I should be in bed

With a head full of magic & a heart full of dread

My labors of toil. My labors of lust

Streetlight pale. Goddamn the sun

We're all dangerously close to the bottom

Anguish & Joy could be slammed shut

In the wink of an eye.. In the inky night

I'm a nightcrawler & I don't know why
