lyrics

Michael

Michael craves his heart ablaze.
Metronomic, flat, mundane,
Life creeps him out.

Michael necked a pill.
Seratonin filled, laughed again,
Shat it out.

Michael thins to wire,
His eyes start to burn.
In dreams his heart implores
The world not to turn.
His appetite exceeds his fire.

Exponentially fix-fixated.
Once the sky is elevated,
How's it hanging man?

Sex-slave, bareback and broke.
Michael's leash extends as he chokes,
A weary song.

Michael chased a dream.
Dragons don't remain serene
Beasts very long.

Michael snaps his leash,
His head tumbles thick.
Duvet festers, lamp goes dim,
Tragic great white hope
Extinguished way too quick.

Self-abasing, nauseated,
Dreamer snuffs out dream.
Behavioural model decimated,
Baptised in the bloodstream anew.
Soul transfusion, good sea views,
Warm fine sand and moist, saline air.
Michael is recycled,
Only this time his lungs pump.dead air

Michael is reborn,
Under scarlet dawn.
His eyes scarred and sewn.
Michael scours the surf.
Limp hands comb the turf.
He's alive but alone.
