Not the best time for lyrics I suppose keep writing, keep dreaming.

Nope, can't be awake and dream, drift in and out, in and out.

Eye motions in out heat lightning,

Scares us both the only two people awake at this fucking hour

I won't remember this in the morning at least I wrote this all down

That keeps the eyes wide creepy yes,

With alertness when is the fucking sun coming up.

Then it all changes, same scenery

At least for now nature can be the death of me

A thing we'll never overcome in out in out.
