Withdrawal

To slip up to the golden clouds

Grow my hair until it trips my bare-knuckled feet

And picnic naked in the dust is what I lust

Find me here dreaming until we meet

Swimming away from the day

Dwelling in my bed

The comfort of this city has escaped me

Aching cold penetrates my fresh wounds

The sharp wind spears my ears and enters my head

Singing lonely whispers and screeching sounds

Will I ever evade the city by this monstrous lake?

My waning song is almost lost

My teeth have become loose

Cannot stop the hands that shake

In withdrawal of my freedom

Find me there waiting for a train

Searching for my ticket in the blue chilling moonlight

Hiding in the shadows of shame

Deprived of ambition

Begging for a free ride

Anywhere than this place
