Insomniac

The world asleep outside my window

A peacefull orange glow upon the streets

A midnight clear enough for thoughts to breed in

And grow into ideas I'd like to keep

I'd like to keep

I need some friends and conversation

The keyboard shapes the words I'd like to share

My mind's online for hard communication

And open to the wider world aware

And down the wire to the server miles away

I'm calling out to those who'd help me deal with my insomnia

And down the wire at the server miles away

A world awakens reaching out to me in my insomnia

Diving deep into the flow of information

Where I escape from my life of despair

I'm free to pursue inspiration

While you're contented just to dream in your beds anaware

Riding high on the waves of the ether

I am alive with the thrill of the chase

I could stay in this moment forever

And last forever and a day in a hard interface

I wish that i could crumble to dust

Leaving my body powder and rust

I could remain here virtual man

Cloned into digits beyond return

No one would miss me

I am alone

Ghost at the window

Shadow of stone

Nothing to lose

And heaven to gain

Knowledge is power

Freed from my sad

Insomnia

I am the light shining bright in darkness

I am the bearer of knowledge and pain

I am pure as the wind in december

My spirit burning clean as a virtual flame
