A puncture
Leaking life through suture
Surrounding existence
Dying without a chance
For worthwhile meaning
Or rebellious screaming
Against the institution
That perverted your prostitution
For it's own benefit
Uncaring if a flame goes unlit
And so you're gone
How brightly you could have shone
A mind so effervescent
And a life so incandescent
Waxwork drips down
A colourful wick burned brown
And a single plate
That can carry no more hate

A puncture
Leaking life through suture
Surrounding existence
Dying without a chance
For worthwhile meaning
Or rebellious screaming
Against the institution
That perverted your prostitution
For it's own benefit
Uncaring if a flame goes unlit
And so you're gone
How brightly you could have shone
A mind so effervescent
And a life so incandescent
Waxwork drips down
A colourful wick burned brown
And a single plate
That can carry no more hate
