I’ve lost my voice yelling
Over and over
Imaginary spectres
Haunting my spine

What brain dead half mongrelled rut have I shat myself into now

The company rides
On horseback and sides
Through Vauxhall Cross
To the heart of darkness

Nobody’s torn
Viz vox vilify
Seventeen quickets
Til the sun comes down

Coming on but not
Disgracing the screens
With all that I fear
In Discord calls

Stop
Time out
Let’s see what’s going on here
More pressure than those tourist coin things
More moaning than a Skatgobs concert
More screaming than a Lara Croft fall

Let me remind you
That nothing is ever as bad
As your mind can make it seem

It’s hard I know
But try to hold on to the bright things
That you know will make you smile

Don’t cling to dark
It won’t help if it’s all you live by
Friend you need some light and shade

Enough!
Enough!
Triple bellied bull
No more of this ponce worded help yourself crap

Enough!
Enough!
Wiktionary bull
Disgrace to the world I say
Disgrace to the world

Crumb laced pockets
Maze phones and wallets
And spiral stairs
Climb Macbook sockets

Pick Rick pretensions
Cause big brain Wojak
And failed aspirations
Cause sad horse Bojack

Purple popes melting
On stairs in Odessa
And triple jacked steeplehammer
Jessop jessop jessop

For long the future
Debasing the scenes
With all that I hate
In chiaroscuro

Oh woe
What’s this
Another life to save

Another company to float
Another restless night

Oh why
Must you cry
And bleed yourself to ash

The fire and the water sting
But I’ll apply a balm

And rescue you like squid from the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean

Let me remind you
That life’s full of devious turns
If they come don’t be surprised

It’s hard I know
But death love and pain won’t not happen
That’s what being human’s like

Don’t cling to dark
It won’t help if it’s what you swear by
Friend you need some light and shade

What?
You think you’ll get away from me that easily?
I’ll always be here
Corroding your headspace

What have you got to say for that?
Well
WELL
W E L L

Let me remind you
That this world is full of such beauty
Inbetween the fear and hate

It’s hard I know
But trust that the sun will prevail
And break through the cloudy skye

Don’t cling to dark
It won’t help if its tune you sing by
Friends you need some light and shade
