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
