Darkness

Suddenly I find

I've got darkness on my mind

It's a question mark that keeps me looking

And it's never satisfied

And it's never what I thought

Saying I'm happy when I'm not

No, I got darkness on my mind

Leaning out the frame

When it's particulate and gray

I'm perpendicular to my whole being

When I lean a certain way

Saying I'm happy when I'm not

Finding roaches in the pot

Oh, I got darkness on my mind

Some people spend their whole lives looking

For someone who could understand

While meanwhile a lilac blooming

Sometimes on the driest land

And I know it's been a long time coming

I'm angry and I know that's weak

And I'm longing out that open window

For whatever it is I seek
