AGAMEMNON EN MENELAOS KUNNEN NIET SLAPEN (boek 10)

__________________________________________________________

you're lying awake

the room is different 

the walls dissolve

replaced by sky

horizon blackening

twilight beckoning

as the clouds are stretching wide

stars still shining

little holes

that light is clawing to get through

but hope is shifting

with the shadows 

that are drifting on the ceiling as you move

(shh.. just close your eyes and go to sleep

there's nothing to be afraid of..)

are you awake?

sour thoughts are dancing now

all around your head

shoulders shake, chattering teeth

the cold wind rips the covers from your bed

the apparition

the eyes are digging

heart is pounding

eyelids will not close

your voice is failing

the screams derailing

and she stands so near to you

and nothing is sweeter

than the songs you're seeing

begging for the colder hand she hides

floating

flowing

her soul is hunting

glimmer

shimmer

white lights breaking

and fluid cries

she is reaching

screeching

imploring

seething

and the haunting

hurting

spilling

no one knows

a kiss-like smile that leaves you beguiled

fading darkness and the whispers of a ghost

Deep in the bosom of the gentle night

Is when I search for the light

Pick up my pen and start to write

I struggle, fight dark forces

In the clear moon light

Without fear... insomnia

I can't get no sleep

I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry

Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness

No electricity, something's all over me, greasy

Insomnia please release me and let me dream of

Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath

Tearin' off tights with my teeth

But there's no release, no peace

I toss and turn without cease

Like a curse, open my eyes and rise like yeast

At least a couple of weeks

Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers

But now I keep myself pepped

Deeper still, that night I write by candle light

I find insight, fundamental movement, uh

So when it's black this insomniac take an original tack

Keep the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack

I gets no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I can't get no sleep

I need to sleep, although I get no sleep

I need to sleep, although I get no sleep
