Adrenaline

The chemistry tells us

To run or to fight

We prepare our imbalances

To deal with what’s there

But where are the chemicals

That tell me to hide

Behind the closed curtain

Ignoring the knocking

And the black dog growls

And the black dog growls again

Blue lights flashing on my side

Heading towards me

So that I have to stop

And the black dog growls again

They painted pictures of people without faces

And hung them on the wall

As if to mock me

Thoughts and memoria

To sleep is to ease myself out of the world

And tweeze out the thoughts and my fears

Twisting and turning the threads of the day

Cats cradling dreaming appears

But just as the rock on the fire glows red

And the river flows on through the night

The threads of our memories wear thin over time

And we lose them away to the wind
