Sleepless Incidental Lyrics

Sleepless Incidental lyrics

Sightless, he watches the columns collide
As he wanders the canyon
relentlessly wide
Empires are burning, the rain cuts his skin
And in
every direction the sound closes in
Time, only time, have I
And already
I'm not okay 
He falls in with the unwashed and unfed
He will sleep for
the first time, no crib for a bed
In these extraordinary lanes
He is
blind again, unaware still 
From the greatest height and to the furthest
end
Without association, he will bend
And walking with the wounded, old
and thin
Made to be paraded, bring the misfit in
How to overpower the
avenues of steel
In my illusion, what if this is real ?
Sleepless
incidental, what I really need
Is how to now avoid the full stampede 
I'm
only taking time
And I'm not where I want to be now
