reeking havoc, ruining plans
dragging their chains from long ago
like REM, moving quick or slow
do they dig trenches in your mind?
always lagging just behind
seeds you reaped from fields well ploughed
burrowed in your sweating brow
are you content in the here and now?
given a promise and a vow
distracted by the could have been
are you out or are you in?
sometimes silence echoes so
I can't read what I well know
roll the dice on what has bled
exorcize them from your head
