quiet, dark, slipping into the quicksand of sleep

forceful kitty:

once i wanted 2 be the greatest
no wind or waterfall could stall me
an' then came the rush of the flood
stars of night turned deep 2 dust

melt me down
into big black armour
leave no trace
of grace, just in your honor

lower me down
to culprit south
make 'em watch
a space in town

4 the lead an' the dregs
of my bed i've been sleepin'
lower me down
pin me in
secure the grounds
4 the later parade

once i wanted to be the greatest
two fists of solid rock
with brains that could explain
any feeling

once i wanted 2 be the greatest
no wind or waterfall could stall me
an' then came the rush of the flood
stars of night turned deep 2 dust
