See, by the Train Wreck

See

I don't want to see
any
more

in my mind
I see
him swing
that kid
by his feet
crack his egg
like a head
into a tree

I see it
again,
again,
again
in my dream

again
too late
to save the day
again

now that I try
I'm just so tired

I can't even
sleep
a wink
or blink
or think
of that girl they buried
alive
in a hole

she died
begging
me
please
begging to
see
what I
see
when I
sleep

I can't sleep

gotta keep
peeking
around
that tree
to save
what I see

but
they always
see
inside of me

now
I sleep
with one eye open
cuz
my cover is blown
I´m out in the cold

I need you to know
I tried to save them

But you don't see.
