Day 357

Clouds and Mountains

INTERMISSION
Song by Sleeping at Last.

I'm so tired but i can't sleep.

My mind is full but i can't speak. 

Among the dust of the hard-to-reach, I'm stuck 

Right here, somewhere between side a and side b. 

I could call it compromise

Or just an intermission. 

Some kind of consolation prize 

for the race i never finished. 

I want to turn these tired gears.

I want to feel the follow-through, 

Some kind of equilibrium… 

Something to set my watch to. 

I'm here, somewhere between

Victory and a white flag. 

Caught in this purgatory dream, I’m stuck.

But I want to set the record straight,

I want to retrace my every step. 

If I could just rewind all the tapes 

Then maybe I'd find my loose thread. 

Call it a compromise

Or just an intermission. 

Some kind of consolation prize, 

So close, but never finished. 

I want to turn these tired gears.

I want to feel the follow-through, 

Some kind of equilibrium… 

Something to set my watch to.
