S: Allergic Reaction
V1:
Some Digitalis for my heart, please.
Soreness as I get on my knees.
I pray you- an epinephrine, a reprieve,
Because I cannot stand the way you tease.
Double vision, concussion, total sensual abduction,
Put me out of my misery and hang me out to dry.
Although I fear nothing except God,
You have put the fear of God in me.
C:
Swollen eyes,
brittle bones,
no solution,
no way home.
My heart’s in my throat…
Can this be a terminal condition?
Perdition,
Tradition,
A fall from grace…
Too hard to notice,
I go red in the face.
V2:
Claridryl for my nerves,
Sudafed for the ringing in my ears.
Talk, talk, talk-
That’s all you ever do
As you walk, walk walk-
All over me, dirt under your shoe.
Sedative hypnotic,
Vodka gin and water tonic,
Meningitis, inflammation,
A brain sent on vacation.
Touch, taste, love, forsake,
You are, you are, my greatest mistake.
C:
Swollen eyes,
brittle bones,
no solution,
no way home.
My heart’s in my throat…
Can this be a terminal condition?
Perdition,
Tradition,
A fall from grace…
Too hard to notice,
I go red in the face.
B:
Liberation, speculative fiction, a rise in temperature.
Hyperthermic astmatic steaming like a vegetable,
A cooking pot for my heart, an intentional overdose.
“Why the long face?”
Face laced like it’s sprayed in Mace.
Bulging eyes, shriveled tongue, a repose in superstition has begun.
Voodoo doll,
Taxidermy,
Swing me from the noose,
Engorge me.
C:
Swollen eyes,
brittle bones,
no solution,
no way home.
My heart’s in my throat…
Can this be a terminal condition?
Perdition,
Tradition,
A fall from grace…
Too hard to notice,
I go blue in the face.
Outro:
Breathing in a paper bag,
Heartbeat’s fast, I’m going mad…
(Repeat x3)
