Slowly, it's taking me over and eventually I'll be completely transformed: diffused in the earth, or incinerated and vaporized. It's in the food I eat, in the air I breathe. It's in the people I love and they frighten me. I can see a black shadow shimmering just beneath their skin. Despite my love for them, there's nothing I can do for them, nor is there anything they can do for themselves. It's slowly approaching, relentless. Its appetite is endless and will never be filled.
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Sleepy Michael, milky Michael
Milky Michael, sleepy Michael
Sleepies, close your eyes
Close your eyes
I can see it, but not see it
I can feel it, but not keep it
I can touch it, but not hold it
I can be it, but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it
I can tame it, but release it
I unfold it, but won't see it
I can breathe it, but not taste it
I will lose it, but I'll keep it
In the shadow, in the light pool
In the reason for our being
I won't touch it, I won't hold it
I can be it, but not feel it
I can steal it, but not keep it
I can break it, but not heal it
I can see it, but not see it
I can feel it, but not keep it
I can touch it, but not hold it
I can be it, but not know it
I can reach it, but won't touch it
I can tame it, but release it
I unfold it
