alone and tipsy

...

the world is drunk
i remain to be sober
the world is asleep
i remain to be awake
i tried to floor the gas
and release the stubborn breaks
yet i still can't move
not a single inch


and if the world won't listen
i've only got the moon with me
yet the moon only rises
on times when the world is silent
so it seems my problems are louder
and lonelier and just more pathetic
i feel like i'm a stranger
just like one of jove's moons
just the fourth wheel


maybe i should just go to sleep
it's at least a chance not to wake.
