A Boy With Roses

Web Unwinding

Nothing has changed, I\'m still the same 

As bitter as brine, lurking Gorgon

A crack has formed in the abutment

It\'s a picture of horror 

Every teardrop evaporates into the air 

I\'ve cracked open a beer, a chilled Budweiser

I\'m throwing a pity party

Doing a complete 180

Barefooted, in hurricane mode 

I\'m a big fat pain

Tucked in for the bumpy ride 

I\'m rearing to go 

Dumbo under a rock 

Awkward and virgin white 

Like the swan queen herself 

Thinking about where I\'ve been

Elvis has left the building

My tears mean nothing at all

I drink my tipple, banging my head against the wall

Everyday there\'s a drama, mayhem erupts

I\'m a swinging amulet

Coming in with an adage 

Like I blew a hole into a shapeless dimension

I painted what happened with crushed foxglove seeds 

It was a rather cumbersome task, I must say 

I\'ve spent today thinking about that 

 

The time I was attacked by a wasp 

In a rural area as cold as the North Pole 

I can\'t just erase my memories

I miss my stripling

I\'m always pining for the past 

The time before I went and lost my innocence 

As if I\'m a Stonehenge from happiness

I\'ll give you the severed hands of Calibos

If you lend me your ears 

Like a jigsaw puzzle

Everything can be broken in a single moment

Thinking about life in that sense 

I\'m the Phoenix that burst into flames 

Going downhill on the toboggan

Snowballing into something 

Like a free pilgrim 

Blood rushes to the pink tip 

Now I\'ve went and got myself in a fine kettle of fish 

I said au revoir, I took the yew and the fig 

In my ghastly tomato red seersucker

I\'ve got Dionysian fires in my eyes 

I\'m the sow\'s milky son 

The arrowhead 

Famished for life 

I have a strange appetite

Caked in nectar, relaxing like honey 

I escaped in the belly of the night 

I espied a golden opportunity

There I went like a systole

Axolotl after Tabasco 

It was whimsical, the banana yellow 

I went like shrapnel, like Jekyll

Ultra-delicate like a silky tulip petal.
