inside the 25 hours
that make up those long long days
in the parking lot or in the shower
in pleasent but sober ways
i always think of the things
i think i see
but i thought i saw
myself somewhere else at 23
i thought i saw
a bigger life than what's infront of me
will i see something wrong
with where i end up at 33?
just like the things you see
in late night dreams
uncertain if they are what they seem
but you can name them because you just know
everything but the meanings
i thought i saw
a version of life so dreamlike
i thought i saw
myself running fast enough
to look back and see myself escaping
from the nightmarish thing
that wasn't in my dreams
but in those long long days
i am that predator thing
that eats up all my time
25 hours too many
that make up those long long days
