blink

everyone's out. i'm still awake. bring me a drink. i need to slake this thirst. don't talk too loud, i just might cry. bring me a shroud. i want to die this way. over and over and over and over again. i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here. my nine my nine my nine my nine my nine lives.

everything's clear. i'm still alone. show me your fears, i put my own away. don't bring me down. i won't get up. give me your doubts, i've had enough of mine. over and over and over and over again. i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here. my nine my nine my nine my nine my nine lives.

glimmer glimmer little star. how i wonder who you are. hold me close, i feel so far away. shimmer shimmer little lie. how i wonder who am i. hold me down, i feel so light. so light. i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here i wish i were here. my nine my nine my nine my nine my nine lives.

a while back, i got rather
ill. one of the symptoms
was insomnia. i wrote
this song one sleepless
night, singing it over
and over in my head
until morning. at the
time i thought it was
a song about folding
under pressure.in
hindsight, now that
my health has returned,
i realize that it's
about quite the opposite:
enduring.
