Blackout Dream Blues

A cup of kindness before I step into the light Chase the silence to quiet my mind for the night But you drag me down Sleep through the day when you can’t stand in the sunlight Waiting for the lightning, like a kite Builds like a blister The magic that means to mislead Sunset whispers that tell me you have what I need But you drag me down Blackout dreams are where I am found Sleep through the day when you can’t stand in the sunlight Still as a stone that sinks without a fight Dropped in the water, but the ripples just die Waiting for the lightning, like a kite
