by this river

so tired... no sleep last night, watched tv until the light broke through the curtains and i had no choice but to dazedly get up and drive my brothers back over to my mothers house so they could catch the bus. school was a blur of faces, i dont really remember what went on in my classes... driving to my dads house was like an out-of-body experience. i started falling asleep, listening to whatever cd id shoved in before leaving my driveway. it turned out to be a mix cd of king crimson, brian eno, iron butterfly, and apocalyptica.... i listened to eno as my eyelids began to close, and listened to the lyrics from some distant place at the back of my mind.....

"Here we are
Stuck by this river,
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down.

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here,
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.

You talk to me
as if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time,
From another time."

i love that song.
