Dumb

Dismissed, and I'm in it
Shaking off all my defenses
Left for dead in the valley of the dolls
Dry-eyed, catatonic
A ghost of myself left to wander hallowed halls
A resurrected will to explore this infinite abyss
sealed with an angel's kiss
Save a tear for me now
The morning after dances never come
Living with affect in the valley of the dumb
Everywhere and nowhere
on a crazy journey that never ends
White lines along foggy roads
where the closest thing to see are faded memories
In a moment I travel with my mind through the sky
like a sky warrior's cry
Concrete roads that flirt dangerously with tradjedy
Like Shakespearean romances
Let go, jump off
into the emptiness
into the future
Reach for tomorrow,
but realize it may never come
Get down in it like a pig in the mud
Learn not to spin it
'cuz it just becomes more fun
when you're not trying to win it
