lyrics

Sky of night
Naked light
At the head of my bed

It goes
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

And the world
Slowly turns
With the words in my head

That go
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

A lamp, ever-vigilant, never to die
As I wind down the body
And wind down the mind
And the sky seems to utter a somnolent sigh

it goes
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

*lull*

As a chest
Full of treasures
Cannot keep aloft

It goes
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

And the lids
Of the keyholes
Grow heavy and soft

They go
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

As a maelstrom of musings is softly unmade
And my smoke alarm's light remains loyal and staid
Peeking out through the path of my ceiling fan's blade

It goes
Blink-blink, Blink-blink
Blink-blink,
Blink

Then all is black.
