I Stayed My Eyes

I stayed my eyes from closing down

I stayed my head from rest

I stayed my mind from thinking till

I could cope with all this mess...

But all I do is wait and watch

And all I do is waste

While all I do is passing time

To seek a little taste...

The mess it stays upon my eyes

And it stays upon my head

It stays when I go down to rest

It will stay here till I’m dead

But when I’ve left a question hangs

Above my final peace:

Did this one, just like the rest,

Make this mess of man increase?
