Carousels

Your chemical, fractured soul, terminal disease

By Street Light InterferencePublished 4 months ago 2 min read

There you go

with your head on sideways

Streaming through the trail of lights

Into the chemical night

Starbound expressway

Rocket engine taking flight

Light streaks side ways

You take my hand

I ask the question

*

I wanna know what we're holding onto?

With each demand I take a step towards separation.

I wanna know where this ride is going?

I know it feels like magic for you

But you leave me here a fool

*

Lights Streak in circles and they're flowing through the night

Moon beams are crossing like a helix into flight

Wrapped up and spinning with the magic of the night

Swirling like carousels

*

There you go

with wrist out in splay

Tying off a tourniquette

Inflate your veins and light a spoon

I hear your screams

I know you've waited all day

To chase away the sickness

with a thousand orgasms incoming

*

I wanna know what I'm holding on to?

With each demand I take a step towards separation.

I wanna know when I'll be rid of you?

The magic has turned to abuse

And now I’m getting high to tolerate you

*

Lights Streak in circles and they're flowing through the night

Moon beams are crossing like a helix into flight

Wrapped up and spinning with the magic of the night

Swirling like carousels

*

Hearts beat in rhythm on the shores of discontent.

Chemical fuel streaming through your blood with malintent

Dance mad with fever in a state of disconnect

Swirling like carousels

*

I've spent too long in your magical toxicity

Set me free, let me be, let me leave you in peace

your chemical, fractured soul, terminal disease

You lost me in your sickness

Till you could no longer see me

*

Lights Streak in circles and they're flowing through the night

Moon beams are crossing like a helix into flight

Wrapped up and spinning with the magic of the night

Swirling like carousels

*

Hearts beat in rhythm on the shores of discontent.

Chemical fuel streaming through your blood with malintent

Dance mad with fever in a state of disconnect

Swirling like carousels
