Coherence

Summer Heat

Listless watching houses fly by

I'm helpless to my fate.

I'm being sent to a new state of being.

Call me dramatic to my face

don't you know I'm the front to this game we play?

Im so fuckin bored

even the mosquitoes are coming out

to see the fires that are raging now

to witness the systems shutting down.

Let me dance to drunk mans tune

I have no business drifting elsewhere

let me tear myself open with your silverware

let us feast upon the moon.

I'm not staying young forever.

Let me be reckless in the daylight

let my kiss my forgiveness into charred skin

let me into your ribcage

and make a home for two.

The windows are staying shut

in this summers humid heat

and I hate to find that I'm lost

standing on my own two feet.

I complain as I drink lukewarm cups of water left out on burning benches

drinking molten lava from the sink

gifted from the depths of hell

crawling through the streets.

Drifting in a heat wave

I am lost in the sea of fire

I witness the birth of the sun gods rage

the sky has gone supernova.

I am caressed by the breath of the new leaf season

given life from kisses blessed from open graves.

Isn't the pantheon up above seated in the sky

with no eyes to gaze upon us

oh so unbelievably cruel?

The gods who make the clouds cry

and cause burning leaves to fall from the sky

make us burn

stuck in hell of our own making.

Oh how I want

oh how I yearn

To land on my feet

from a fall from grace

as I'm trapped in this damned place

stuck watching this world turn into one of hate.

Trapped in place

eyes ablaze

watching skies turn multi-colored in distress

why can't I destress?

Why can't I turn back time?

I feel like I have failed you

soul crushing in my chest

In the darkness I press tears into hands

when I wake up in the morning shaking

as I know I have dreamed of dying

and waking up somewhere new.
