Today is a killer

David Nelson





I often sit and stare at the sea,
And dream dreams,
And hope hopes,
And wish wishes,
And lately as i listen to
the windsong,
As it dances a beautiful
dance for me,
But these moments never seem to
last too long,
Because after the hopes, the
dreams and the wishes,
After you and me,
After a stolen moment of
happines,
After a glimpse of the timeless
natural universe,
Moving in effortless, effortless,
starling beauty,
Moving in effortless, effortless,
starling rythm,
Comes the reality of today,
Grinning his all-knowing
fiendish grin,
Knowing everything i say.
Know everything i feel,
Know everything i think,
Every gesture i make,
Today, today,
Pressing his ugly face
against mine,
Staring at me lifeless eyes,
Crumbling away all memories of
yesterday's dreams,
Crumbling away,
Crumbling hopes and destroying
wishes,
Destroying dreams,
Can't get close to nobody
no more,
No matter how much you try,
You can't get close to nobody
no more,
Because today is a killer.
