No Time to Rewind
look through salted eyes
and these colored dyes
stinging deep
as you sweep me off my feet
reset in stone
disguised and alone
walking past a million stares
sending daggers without care
shut my big mouth
because I have nothing to shout about
watching and waiting
eyesight fading
a system error
I feel the terror
piercing my robotic heart
as my wires slowly come apart
like a trick of confidence
it's not an accident
just touch me
and give me what I need
use a gun and cure a headache
drink yourself to death and break
open your mind
and let your soul sing this time
open your mouth
and shout an unfamiliar sound
like a light breeze
and a heavy hand holding me
just close this door
scream out nevermore!
apply pressure on my frame
feel me running through your veins
and piece me back together again
merge the bitterness and the pain
to breed a new hope
count the stars through a telescope
walk the crooked miles
smell the air both polluted and vile
feel the fever creeping
take the pills to cure the screaming
read the labels
before you are unable
lie down and dream
allow darkness to leak through the seams
fire up your senses
round up your best defenses
and let the delerium take over
become a slave, become sober
no chance to rewind
we are running out of time
in these circuits
there is a virus lurking
catch it before we are all sick
and the fog becomes too thick
where we can't find our way home
back to where sanity roams
but never leaving me whole
I can feel your laughing undertow
like a bee stinging
a touch, a tingling
a perception of vertigo
with eager breathing souls
don't give just half a life
make me one, maybe a wife
and together breathe in this air
in heaven where its sweet and bare
