baron

from Beacon by David

lyrics

bruised but not beaten
face down in my bed, hope i sleep through the weekend

still haven't eaten
taking old pills just to feel like i'm breathin'

light from the screen,
voice of another, a mirror, a sheen

say what i mean
a hermit inert, injured angry, a fiend

ash on the floor cause i cannot get up
smoke in the window, a cloud on the pane

faced with the weight of decision and now
i cannot, no will not, accede to my fate
an act of resistance, revolt in the real
a violence of values, the rawest of deals
desperate for distance, a vista reveal
desires a prison, a rock up a hill


let me be clear
thought i needed the time
space for reflection
resetting my mind
but the air’s turning sour
there's flies in the cups
there's plates on the floor
and there's dust in the halls

waitin and waiting
the want getting loud
a hunger like thunder
the thoughts like a cloud
hear them there buzzing
like copters or planes
a modern red baron, the ace of my aims
