you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
_laying in a bathtub full of freezing water, wishing you were a ghost_

Doors closed
Windows shut
The sun only peaks out of the cracks in the blinds
Tick
Tick
Tick
The clock never stops
Another minute is wasted
Lying naked in my bed
You can't see me
Baring my soul
As I shut out that stupid light
That blinds me of my path
You say that time holds the answer to everything
Well how much longer is the wait?
Patience and sanity creep out
Like the sand running through your fingers
I'm so sick of watching all of this go by
And writing these words, marred by time
As time waits for these words to fade away
I continue to give my nights to Dashboard
And my pillow, worn from being held too much
While I drown in my own scent
And stare at the smooth of the ceiling
I know that there should be so much more than this
Just please don't be afraid of me
And don't let me be afraid of you
I'm going to bare it to everyone before I die
I just somehow know that I will
And right now I continue to watch from my bed
That damned clock that ticks seconds away from my patience
