Checking In: Tired and Strung Out

Tired and Strung Out

(Chorus)
Tired and strung out
Honey love, why don’t you leave me be?
I’ve been so
Restless and weary
Teary-eyed and half asleep
Forlorn to forgotten
Often tidings leave
And then so
Restless and weary
I lean, nearly at my keep

Day’s they come and days they go
But will each come again?
Black on black – at least there’s black
Cause black is still something
Tongue-tied and smitten
Spy the riled bitten hand
Reaching for some lady haven that splits sea and sky within

(Repeat chorus)

Weatherman, so what’s the plan?
“Cream – no sugar” again today?
You hold habitual your little rituals
Against a world in constant change
The camera: out of focus
Hocus pocus – smile and wave
Keep good airs with the anchor lady, then commercial and estrange

And is there nothing
That can replace?
Will all these harbors
Be laid to waste?
Before existence?
Before the eye of the storm?
Drawing forward
Drawing form and word



“Turn off the TV; come back to bed
Or am I also now mundane?
An early morning’s around the block
Don’t turn the corner drained
Calling cloudy tomorrow
Rain and sleet tonight t’would seem
For her lover she is waiting, wondering of what once became

And is there nothing
That can replace?
Or is this absence
Is it the face
Of existence?
Is it the vacuum?
Drawing forward?
Drawing form and word?

(Repeat chorus)
