Shallow Water Blackout

Neuron flash in fifty watts
Pinpointing to the streetlight limbo
Told me it was chemistry
Why I behave like this?

Why I move in misdirected impulse
And speak in scrambled clusters of white noise?
Traction is not a term of endearment
Death is an experiment best conducted face down

Vertigo may not include spinning
But it ought to

I am languid in the puddle
Face full of concrete cellophane
Don't say a single fucking word
Unless you speak with a drowning tongue

I'm not listening
I'm not focusing
My eyes have sunk and set
And I am invincible
I'm water proof

Someone said that Heaven
Was just coincidence
Collision of electrons

Well, this is not the time
Before touching me

I am a conduit changing colors
Frantic humming televisions
Conducting city spasms
Shorting voltage like a fuse

C'mon, get out

The elevating vibration of hysteria
Amplified by the armor of the tarn
Flashing lights paint veins across the sky
And everyone along the roadside
Just wants to see a saint

Not the serenity of sirens
The allure of the Femme Fatale
And her defibrillator hands can't stop me now
I feel quite all right
I feel quite all right
