Electric Haze Fades Through Me

.

The rain has followed me………..It seems to have the strangest effect on my mood……. It makes me reflect, think about people, memories…all the things that have been going on in my life. It mixes them into one constant stream which flows through my veins…. through this body, awake at all the wrongs times, distracted by the rain….yet soothed by this night-scape. I’ve been lying here in the darkness with my headphones on, watching the city lights flicker through the glass wall… all that remains between me and the sky. I can’t stop listening to Bjork’s ‘Desired Constellation’…. it helped me write these words, and the video is how I now half-dream, swallowed in this empty bed… so far away from everything.

‘Tonight the rain won’t stop falling….
I sit here in the dark…. and you are with me,
I feel you beside me…..

This room … this empty room, is full of you.
Sheets creased, skin damp
My face washed away…. this is raw.

Broken light, bleeds against the glass.
I am still…….In this silence,
You are still in my thoughts…..

Electric haze fades through me.
Reflections, blur cold under my touch..
This heart beats slower… this night grows longer,
These drugs don’t work…….

I watch the shadows of strangers pace from room to room,
TV’s flash and jump, burning blue.
17 floors high, this cityscape echo’s with memories of you.
This girl is drowning…. this rain won’t stop….
This isn’t where I want to be…..so far away from you……’
