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.
