A slight drawl in my speech
A light fog in my brain, drifting in and through
Snake its way through my veins
A soft smile that reminds and softens all the lines
Eyelids close
The lack of consciousness brings a ring to my ears
The power blinks out
Heaters crawl to a stop letting the winter in
The sedatives are latent
The melatonin waiting
This mortal coil we're shaking
I'm shaking closer to you
So shudder with me my dear
Hold the candle bright dear
I'm constrained and I'm resigned dear
I'm waking closer to you
A Freudian slip
These stale words between my tongue and my lips
Intervention cries out
The synapses are slowing, pleasantly giving out
A dysfunctional mentality
Redefines function endlessly
A dysfunctional mortality
Redefines function fatally
