Flashlight Beam

an original song
====
words burn the cold
lies that will come untold
falling apart in the dark
I'm an obliging soul
deep in the ground
parasites on the sound
under your breath
clear as death
I heard your promise drown
nothing you can do in your sleep
matters to me
solid as a rock in the way
if not to leave
why do I stay?
long may you fall
nobody will recall
what you survived
how you strived
nothing remains at all
tell me your dreams
cross on my flashlight beam
love would not avail
truth would fail
if it were as it seems
nothing you can do in your sleep
matters to me
solid as a rock in the way
if not to leave
why do I stay?

"Two guys live in an insane asylum. And one night, one night, they decide they don't like living in an asylum anymore. They decide they're going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moonlight... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. Y'see... Y'see, he's afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea... He says,'Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!' B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says 'Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was halfway across!'"
