Dial Up

Can’t keep my eyes open Long enough Heavy shroud pulled down Days face night And I’m gone A call echos from afar Dial in, ring me up The bell shouts Sleep it off Brush the surface of habit A stain to wash away Invent the deception A gaze you can’t evade Leave it up it you, can’t be Leave it up to me and see From a window looking in Ember, ash, and dust See the sky Peek out A thread tethered on both ends Clouds suspended from It snaps and I fall Dial in, ring me up
