Impossibility

No, I don't sleep till three in the morning
Or four, five, six when the dawn's breaking
Tell me, is it normal, to stay awake
Heavy in though and mind of nothing but
Images and memories and integrities
Numberless possibilities and lies to lead
Glowing in the darkness so calming

Thousands, they said, thousands of reasons
Only one really matches

Let me imagine it for a little while
In this semi-catatonic state
Vapour of an existence I'll
Evade the truth as long as it can wait

From it all, I don't want to live
Or die, either way it's a chance to give
Rise to a sleep that's permanently affective
