hope to sleep

lost

west of these mountains

she walks the island

island to fail

stars blink out directions

through cloud formations

some kind of a code

she reads this language

hall moon's her lantern

no sign of a road

this land is breathing

she cease from meaning

molecular show

can't hope to sleep

on this restless peak

she keeps coming back

to this place of fear and lack

can't hope to sleep

for her tears repeat

what she gave did not come back

she goes 'round and 'round this cul-de-sac

can't hope to sleep

on this restless peak

she keeps coming back

to this place to fear and lack

can't hope to sleep

for her tears repeat

it's better to her taste

what she can't digest

regurgitates

back is tom beneath her heavy load

lost him up along this lonely road

loved him where he lacked

but he couldn't love her back

back is tom beneath her heavy load

lost him up along this lonely road

loved him where he cracked

so he couldn't love her back

back is tom beneath her heavy load

lost him up along this lonely road

loved him where he lacked

but he couldn't love her back

back is tom beneath her heavy load

lost him up along this lonely road

loved him where he cracked

so he never loved her back
