Refund on Life

What does traffic smell like Chokes and gasoline and heartbeats gone amok why are the streetlights so aggressive to my eyes In the nighttime when the tar burns underneath And the pressure is peaked between my teeth Where is the menu I only wanted food not a fat man so lie for me to the chef I want a refund on this life I want a refund on this life What does Lust sound like Sweat and sweet moans Hands and legs and eyes and sighs Tonight I will not hold the knife I don’t want a refund on this life What does the moonlight taste like cool licks down parched throats Owl’s Hoots and distance Water and void Tonight the forest is alright I don’t want a refund on this life From where is the music coming from his palm pulsing, lightly singing Whispered dances treading sweetly Interlaced with her’s, dreaming of doves over a canopy Faith in Future Some nights I don’t want a refund on this life
