as sad as the world is
i'm in for the kill
i'm a friend of the butterfly
dead on the sill

looking out that old window
it's all ashes and smoke
time to pack up and turn in
try to think it's a joke

yellow morning-light swims
through the dust in the beams
and i'm waking up half asleep
drowning in dreams

turn the radio on
hear the cold static snow
got no voices to hear
got no new news to know

i'm afraid it's the end for me
time to clock out
time to check out the other side
see what life's all about
i'm not suicidal, not even close. hell, i'm not even depressed. in fact, today was one of the best days i've had in a long time. work went well, i'm reading an excellent book (dune), and i hung out with my good friend ryan. this probably belongs in a journal entry but seriously i had a great day. played some video games, watched a great movie, even enjoyed the sunshine.

so why write this? why not?

the real answer is i wanted to use the words "in for the kill" in something. the rest fell into place.

also tell me if you think this subject matter warrants a mature content warning. if so i'll get right on that.
