02. Restless
4:44
Words by BB /DP

This odyssey
i wait in search of dawn
a tear is shed with every yawn, with every yawn
the pain concealed, will simmer with my needs
a victim’s wounds will never heal
a thought circulates, aware that I’ll awake
with sore feet
and calloused heels

Taxing, restless
a tear shed with every yawn
twilight, listless
endorphins take too long
in slumber with a furrowed brow
and through gritted teeth
taxing, restless
suffering at the hands of sleep

You can stare for so long
despite how it looks
the hands are moving
each strike of the clock
reminds me how long
I have been asleep

A thought burns so quickly
the flint’s cold denial
a tight noose surrounds this island slowly
a hot wired memory
the shock in every smile
a stiff face so gently turning over

A thought burns so quickly
the flint’s cold denial
who set my bed on fire
could someone wake me
a hotwired memory
the shock in every smile
a stiffened face so gently
starts turning over

I am happy
when I’m restless
