My Soul is a Sea (Lithium)

 Long-lost companions above the sky
I adjust my hat; dark, proud, and wise.
(I’m so happy, because today I found my friends.)
Ethnocentric blasphemy; lies, lies, lies
Today I heard a story, one that is never told.
(They’re in my head.)

A faded streetlamp, outside Lonely Rooms Corner
It matters not; a divine light cannot distinguish the horror.
(I’m so ugly, that’s ok, because so are you.)
High towers, high kings, corrupt priests, low esteem
It comes to me, out of the blackest night.
(We’ve broke our mirrors.)

Die illusions!  Die!
Surrender confusion!  Goodbye!
(Sunday morning, is every day for all I care.)
I am scared.
While I rub bloody sweat out of my eyes
And while merciless time heeds the call
Here this message.  It’s wet, and lacks buoyancy.
But it’s deep, and everlasting.
Please, break down the wall!
(Light my candles, in a daze because I found God.) 

My soul is a sea, and “Lithium” tames the tides.

Breathing, my only escape from pessimism.
Hypocrisy and hatred, keeps me locked behind closed doors.
(I’m so lonely, that’s ok, I shaved my head.)
Colorful murals clawed by innocent, fear-stricken hands.
Hope, passion, and love bleed into the abstract spectrum.
I am sad.
Indigestion, neck-pains, and lonely nights while wandering….
Why can’t he be happy?  I’m not sad!
(And just maybe, I’m to blame for all I’ve heard.)
I am sure.

This is not depression, only an inner release.
What am I holding on to?
Lost in time, and everybody’s staring.
I refuse to run off the road.
(I’m so excited; I can’t wait, to reach you there.)
Chains, chains, chains
These nightmares are shameful, I’ll take my meds!
Fuck police brutality, bring on the dreads!
I do care!
I have a need, to give.
(I’m so lonely, that’s ok, my will is good.) 

Life passes by, while I listen to Kurt’s agony.
And changes change whiles I pace to and fro.
(I like it, I miss you, I love you, I killed you,)
I “am” gonna crack.

My soul is a sea, and “Lithium” tames the tides.
