Tar

don't wait
for me anymore
I've opened the door
and I've entered the hall

of the house
that I was warned about
where the days run like tar
and the nights lack the stars

and I sleep like homeless
half awake and half asleep
with my rags and bags right by my side
I'm ready to leave

I don't have
what you were looking for
it ain't in me anymore
just a vague phantom pain

you're a blind
spot in my life
a storm in the sun
that breaks my circuits down

I had a dream I was jumping
out of a speeding night train
the darkness called my name
and the black trees
hurried away
