I dreamt the red whale song
  Hold the moment strong
  Then the moment's gone
  I never can get enough
  Again without the words
  Again without the someone who will
  Afford me some
    This is me hangin' on
    I once read a mind 'til dawn
  Let the poem hum on emotion's
  rolled tongue
  I've never had enough
  Are we okay? Are we open?
  Again without the someone
    So this is me hangin' on
  I'm hangin on
  And this is my world
    Now I'm spending every night
  Being fed through a grinder
  The price for falling down
  I'm never through paying
  I might be meat for minds
  I may be numbered...hung
  I might succumb
    This is my world
  And this is me hangin on
