the last singing synapses

All of these lines I've written
I've written in blood
How could you understand
all these years
I've been piling them up
hoping you would catch on
I am a time bomb without you
dreading those final ticks
They are lyrics fed to me
by the last singing synapses
as I drink my coffee
as I drive to work
in the shower
laying awake at night
during every menial task
moments in between
moments that pass so quickly
you hardly notice they're gone
I am hopeless, I know
I painstakingly carve these words
in my tenderest flesh
They come out so strange
so raw, so wrong
I wonder if you could ever
understand
Like bubbles from the depths
do they mean anything at all?
