Take
me
while I'm
sleepin'
Under
the sheets,
my naked
body.
I'm packed
to leave
the tattoo
on my thigh
is all I brought
to read.
--------
--------
I
see
the shadows
on my window
vague-
ly,
vague-
ly.
I'm in the posi-
tion
of those
about to be born.
I am lying on my
side.
You shoot
beams of light
through the window
through the door
the Earth
shakes from the force
of my
desire,
of my
demise
Of in-
human
space
fligh-igh-igh-ight
My body's
ascending
I'm still
alive.
Even though the words are coming out of my face
I don't even know what to say
All I know's I don't belong in this place
I need you to take me away
I've
been beamed
across
light years
To a foreign galax-
y
One that expects
nothing from me
And I expect nothing in ret-
urn
Except to watch
the stars burn
To be another speck
in the night
Meaningless and alright
Take
me
while I'm
sleepin'
Under
the sheets,
my naked
body.
I have
to leave
cuz all I thought true
is a lie.
I forgot
to breathe
Thru the troughs
and the peaks
