Needles & Pins
Jack McKeown
Needles and pins
Now the war begins
The demons are lurking
The vultures are circling
The darkness longingly grins
The journey you've travelled has taken it's toll
Burnt the candle at both ends, melting outta control
Blurry faces, fake embraces.
Who to trust, they're all persuasive?
Slipping deeper from reality
Ascend the stairs transfixed in a daze
An evil green hue illuminates the way
Hidden parts of your mind lost in a maze
A spindle prick burns you up in a blaze!
Distant voices, making noises
Crowded sanity, demanding choices
Slipping deeper from reality!
Eyes roll back, pulse growing weak
Your hand in mine losing it's grip
The dashing rocks, thy sea sick weary bark
Here's to my love - I'll sip
