Yearning spawned from loneliness
Earnings bought a lonesome death
I caught the scent
The trail stretched from A to Z
I chased, my voice escaped with breath
I pay respects to those unsent
Livid gods are unrelenting, views expensive
Rumour has it you could witness
Anything that they could conjure into pictures
I wrestle with indecision
Sprouted wings and blew emissions
On the wind, detect a whiff of potency
Not doing what I’m supposed to be
And nothing soberly
Racked the groceries
City’s lost its glimmer, shit is gross to me
Born in Winter, cold enough to hear my teeth
Close my eyes and twist my fingers
I’m Poseidon, watch it glisten
Flourish in the deep
Well in silence, sing me into sleep
Always tired, pressure never ceased
Depression instrumental
Like the weather, temperamental
Melbourne smothers all potential
Suffocate in mouldy rental
It’s not even safe to beg
Separate an arm and leg
You must take to get
Fill the void in vacant chest
Every word’s a waste of breath
I’m also excess
