End the recital
Break the cycle
Something's wrong
You've strayed from your quiet desperation
The daily recital no longer serves?
There's comfort there, remember?
I rage the dying light
Cease logorrhoea
Wrapped up in a dull ache
The story's the same
The faces change
Rinse and repeat
Why leave now?
Erase that goddam smile
Won't go back this time
I see
One more rerun won't solve the crisis
The story's the same
The faces change
Seduced once again by the Devil of the Better Known
Rinse and repeat
Sleepwalking a daily recital
Until now
A miraculous fall from disgrace
And a terrifyingly violent awakening
What to do?
What to do?
Alone and becalmed
A spirit remembered
The universe awaits
