Sea of Red

Jandek


I'm floating in a sea of red
Drowning down, can't get no air 
And you done told me 
I've got no life 
I'm rolling my eyes 
The last gasp is coming on 
All over my body 
There's a deep deep chill 
It's been coming a long time 
The rushing waters are still 
It's hopeless to be here 
Please take me away 
I've finished my walking 
I've finished my talking 
I can't beg you no more 
Let the red sea take me down 
So I don't remember not a thing when I wake 
There's nothing but goodbye 
I've thought all I'm going to think 
Take a conjecture 
Snuff it out and see 
All those glimpses of good things 
Got away to the dark 
I'm floating in a sea of red 
Drowning down, can't get no air
