Insomnia

from The Memory Apparatus by Thylacinus

/

lyrics

staring at the ceiling as I lie awake in bed
vacant as the space between the walls inside my head
the brick and plaster edifice is staring in at me
oblivious to the artifice that fails us when we dream

the burden of the immersion mars these lonely hours
uncertainty of days to come causes thoughts to sour
a twisted introspection ushers unaccompanied
fervent self-destruction posing as profundity


the morning light approaches with still no sign of sleep
the waning night's atrocious weight slowly starts to creep
the alarm clock's piercing siren tells me that I failed
I hit the snooze and soon again my alarm clock starts to wail

staring out the window as I lie awake in bed
kept awake by restless thoughts deep inside my head
the rising burning stellar sphere hits me with its beam
I rise to face another day without the chance to dream

about

Thylacinus image

Thylacinus Portland, Oregon

Thylacinus: music and bad decisions. You likely heard of me from a soundtrack to a podcast, but I also make my own music from time to time.

The early stuff is pretty rough, but I keep it around as it's part of my history.
