Heat

I don’t belong here
I’m a fish out of water
There’s a dull pain in my eyes
And the heat
The heat torments me
remorselessly

Fire on Air! Fire on Air! It is murder

I’m feeling quite alright in here
I spat into my companion’s ear
I feel the magic will soon appear [LIAR!!!]

I turned my head and said to her
Your feelings clear but I must demur
I’m sure there’s nothing strange about this place [LIAR!!!!]

If there’s somewhere else you would prefer
Then of course I would defer
None of this will end in a disgrace [LIAR!!!!!!!]

The heart is dark, it stares across the room
it says “this quiet is disquiet”
“this space a disgrace”.
It swells and the BOOM!!
WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME!?
WHY DON’T YOU DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE
YOU EAT TOO MUCH!!
YOU OWN TOO MUCH!!
You don’t think! ENOUGH!!
Where are you going with this DRAMA?
Where are you going?

The scarring of exile
And flesh sore with a canker
There’s no rain in the skies
And this wind
The wind strafes us
Without mercy

Fire on Air! Fire on Air! It is murder

LIAR!!!!!

Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you love me?
Why don’t you love me?

“The horror, the horror”
The last words in my ear
A rage hotter and hotter
Stoked panic and fear
Lies kinder than heaven
In truth colder than hell
Both left on a river
As silence fell.
