six days

the town has been sleeping for six days and
the highways have gone blind
the streets have cried
and the flood washed it all out

the tide came in and took my life away
and as it flowed away I said goodbye
because nature knows
it's way back

the town has been sleeping for days
and I don't know what to do
it's part of this self-discovery
I'm going through

the town has been sleeping
the people have been sleeping
my life has been sleeping 
for days 

or years
(who can tell the difference? 
how can we know that this town isn't dead?)
