Dusk Bug

The dusk brings poison, breathe it in
A distant sunder is dooming
It's a bloodstained bundle of flesh and bone
Here and now, preach anything
Flurry down like snow

My head's been quiet too long
Thoughts pool and shimmer
That's why I have come
That's why I sit on the stone
I'm a brainless quitter with a hand in woe

Though I sleep sound
Nothing here is changing anymore
It's a cry for disaster
Nothing here is changing anymore

At the brink of sundown
At the edge of the world
I argued faithlessness to a man with no voice
But his gestures told me enough
To some, I'm a winner
To him? A bug

Though I sleep sound
Nothing here is changing anymore
It's a cry for disaster
Nothing here is changing anymore

Know truth knocks with the impact of a comet
Then everything is strange
Then you become afraid of you

Fight or flight, I'm a quitter
My hospitality's wasted
Behold the caitiff
From the tip of the stone, I am no bug!
Ignorance bestowed as involvement is lost

Memory fogs as equilibrium grows
All the other kids think it's funny
But they don't know what I know
They see pain
They see death
That twist of information could cost your life

Now I've all the full-color designs
'Cause I sat on the stone

If I am an insect
Then all of my people take the night
Light up the forest with all our numbers

And you'll all sleep sound
'Cause nothing is changing
It's a cry for disaster
Nothing is changing anymore
