Sweet salamander

Full throttle

like an axolotl binding my throat

Assuming control

You're the pilot of my aircraft

and I'm crash landing with you


Oh, sweet salamander

Why do you make my tongue so mean?


Sweet salamander

Bottled up

like a beer begging to foam over

Assuming the worst

but the worst never arrives

and I'm crash landing on you


Oh, sweet salamander

Why make me wait for nothing?


Sweet salamander

Uplifting

like the technicolour in my engines

Burning up my nerves like a fever dream

Awakened to my paranoia

Assuming the days are long

but the sun barely rises anymore

and we crash land in the dust

together.


Oh, sweet sweet salamander

How are you still a part of me?
