This Unrest

This unrest beats out my breath

Disconnected thoughts jangle in a mess

This unrest crucifies my chest

Without anaesthetic it cuts

Through tumorous flesh

This unrest beats out my breath...

This unrest beats in my chest

Discordant limbs watch unimpressed

At the aimless walk the mindless talk

The pictures leap out and dance for me

They laugh at me

As your bitterness closes in

You're feeling very old again

Ah just to sleep, without these thoughts

But the angels shout, resurrecting doubts

Ah we meet again, my trusty friend

Demanding new favours for old time's sake

Inside this captive frame

Come and claim your liberty

Metal and flesh will fuse today

These visions jump out and blast my days

Clean away...
