Grey Places

In the dark places
Blood is gold
Pain is diamonds
Hope has died
But you are there

In the bright places
Light is life
Mirth is everpresent
Death forgotten
I see you there

In the grey places
Joy is silenced
Sorrow stilled
Love is numb
Yet you are there

Always

Still Awake

I just can't sleep yet 
I'm making a note here: take some pills
It's hard to overstate my need for slumber
 Nyquil or Sleep Aids
I take them and yet I stay awake
For the good of sanity
I wish that I'd fall asleep

 But there's no sense crying if I can't go to bed
After all it's probably all in my own head
And so much can get done
When the moon is my sun
And I know that I am
Still awake

 I'm not even tired
 I'm being so sincere right now
Even though I've worked for sixteen hours
And ate all your Reeses
Then threw all your plates into our fire
As they broke it hurt because
I wasn't sure why I did

Now these shining hours make a beautiful line
And I think it might just extend for all time
But I get so much done
Staring contests I've won
Cause I've been all this time
Still awake

Go ahead and sleep now
I think I prefer to stay awake
Maybe I'll find someone else awake too
Maybe yo' momma
That was joke, haha, she's dead
Anyway, this cake is great
Wait, did you need it for later?

Look at me, still eating when there's violence to do
I'm here with my knife, and over there is just you
I think your guts would look cool
Wound up here on this spool
Maybe then I'd not be still awake

And believe me I am still awake

I'm disemboweling you and I'm still awake

I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still awake

And when you're dead I will be still awake

Still awake

Still awake
