Picking up the signals in my brain
So far yet so close to me
Trying get closer to my head
So near yet so frustrating
I know what I should be trying to do
Not going to be sore
Not trying to be God
So far
Yet so close
So beautiful
Yet so deformed
So near
Yet so not
So real
Yet so raw
I can
Taste the apple you're holding
To my lips
I can bite the clouds
Without my tongue tasting
I can feel the sky
By making myself bleed with those knives
I can see the sun
Without trying to reach up high
It's too late
All too late
Way too safe
So cliché
Now that all it takes
Is a press of a button
To send your raves
To the butcher that sells only mutton
But does it matter
That all that you've mutter
Under the sheets on a midnight rant
Was made to poetry in that one-night stand
I can taste the cherry
That you're holding
Close to my teeth
I can bite the mists
With my tongue tasting nothing
I can feel the rhymes
Making me a bed with all those knives
I can reach the sun
Without trying to jump too high
Like a roulette
Sinking in to the sand
Wishing that I'm not there
To say
My midnight rant
