and the birds

are off to battle

There's love and hate

and prices

to be paid

I didn't think I'd live

to see the morning

but I did

and now it's here

and I'm afraid

There are bombers in my head

come to destroy me

Kamikaze pilots

in my brain

The flowers cough their pollen

It's sad to see them dying

I just want you to love me

for my mind

 

Sunshine hurts my eyes

but that means nothing

I didn't think I'd see it again

It's good to be alive

and wake up smiling

It's so good to hear the silence

after rain

 

Jet planes

overhead

as I lie sleeping

They buzz inside my mind

like filthy flies

and a zillion stars make up

each frail nightmare

over friends with gentle hands

and gentle eyes

I want to say I'm sorry

I failed you

You gave me the reason

to believe

There's nothing in the world

worth more than friendship

There's nothing worse in hell

than to deceive
