slightest bit tomorrow

I'm slightly insane
this shade of red and brown
it drags me down
the crusty earth of everything
of me,
of clay and tears
the fears are building up now
and i can't choke my song
even as i'm stranded here
i'm backed against the wall
last night' s dinner on the road
i sway and then i fall
Can it be the sympathy
that took me here, thus far
now i'm here alone
and i can barely stand against the waves
they drag me with the current
I can't even scream
or dream
I'm nothing now, it seems
a little bit like yesterday,
that everything's the same
the slightest bit tomorrow
that i'm the one to blame
dream or no,
friend or foe
i can tell the end
cracking on my head
and trickling down my neck, my spine
i close my eyes to keep it out
but it makes me shiver, still
I'm a little different, now
the slightest bit tomorrow
