It's just another night in limbo
And i'm picking up my parts
Unravelling the wires
That you have knotted up
If you are not with me
Then i am not with you
I'm looking through my glass walls
Convincing me its true
I'm serenely catatonic
Counting 99 to one
Relinquishing the day's shit
All gathered in my mind
I'm skimming through the Nile
With a wingspan that's endless
Complete in my illusion
But lacking none the less
As i turn off all the lights
I see tomorrow's hell
Another ordinary day
Trapped in my mortal shell
So i tolerate my demons
And tease them till i burn
If my spirit sails tonight
I'll never return
