Words plucked straight from the dark abyss
That's the only place you'll find the truth
Middle of the night
Scrambling to write down on paper
All the things I want to say but can't
When you're around
Where's my lost miracle
Ink is running dry
Running out of time
Last sand is out of the hourglass
Last shadow on the sundial

Dogs yapping
Know it's coming before you do
Oh to have their senses
See it before it hits
But would it change
Anything?
Would I do as I always do
Or would it trip me up
Add to worry
Slow me down
Is ignorance bliss?
Information overload
Better not to know
But be prepared
Listen to the dogs
Get a taste
A hint
But never know
Or you'll make it come true
Go down the road of inevitable
But only a glimpse
Keep the power
Change the future
Change your heart
Look for the signals
Listen to the dogs

Even though it's frightening
Must look into the abyss
Over that edge
Get dizzy
Embrace
Be grateful for the fear
That's brave
It never ends anyway
That's the point after all
Rant
Go off on a tangent, sign, cosign or even
A sea-cant
Off the chart
Be afraid
Very afraid
