In Action

Reductive Redemption

Death is a dream, I could never leave
I cry out your name to an irreverent plea
Oh the travesty, at least one drink every day

It feels natural this way,
When you saw my weakness you just turned away and now all I can imagine
But where was that passion, oh malevolent magician

When we were in action? my mind is so kind, blocked and locked in a cosmos that in no hope one could ever find

Sacrificed to the ties, and I go to places that erases every piece of you and me that meant any damn thing but as long as you’re finding your freedom

You’ll wonder about me and perhaps part of you will always be searching, regretting that one day you flew off to meet him

Another random space that makes me valid to the human race, How do I replace what you took and then made a catastrophe?,
Come on pretty boy at 23,

You used to tell me but now I scan the sea of men at around 60

Dreamy-eyed, I lied and it plays like surround sound,
Beyond your unforgiving pride,
damn it all to hell if you ever tried
