quiet please!

[jikan myshkin]

Quiet please! Children are sleeping

Down the road tires are squealing

Flesh burns in neon prisons

Awoken by a frightened child’s cry



Look at the calendar,

On the wall of your living

The future is close, a bit to daughting

History makes mistakes not worth repeating



An angry cry wakes my sleeping

My dreams are dark, insomnia eating

My dreams are dark, looks like I’m rotting

I guess I’m just rotting



Voices pass by the window,

Curtain shielding

I looked for you while I was dreaming

I spoke to you whilst I was dumb



Various positions all mean nothing

Filled with doubt, my one certainty

Do I want this future

Or am I just too scared?



I’ve been a looser for so long

I don’t want to be winning

Never comfortable in my own skin, so abandoned it

Never been comfortable with people so pretend I’m sleeping



I love you, words with no meaning

Ate a meal now I’m starving

Endured to meditate

On all the problems building



I could continue forever, with no ending

I have nothing to say, time is for wasting

Feeling so lonely, tears all weeping

Feel so down. Life is for taking
