ABSINTHE NIGHTINGALES

All I ask, is where you've been,
I know what its like.
Starring straight, afraid
if you love me
let me be in peace.
A star in quantum wars
on the next voager
to similar characters
with squid heads.
Tell all your friends
why don't you.

How can you digitalize the soul?
Could have been as grand
as a fake computer game
but suffered stage fright.
So here I am again.
I've been west
where curls are fair
sharing magic Kong Fu
tonight
the Rosé blends
the credibility 
threatening 
to be this butter thing
crazy loops
And who works behind the bar
on holidays?

So where have you been?
Pushing boundaries again.
Society never achieved,
peaked in consumption
corporate bullet holes
fucked up capitalists
backing America
in a weed extinction 
miss match
of sudden death at the Olympic games.
And everyone is crying
for their cash 
crash
And we've never been more human
you say.
So many of us are twisting laws
to return home.
And don't start me talking 
about making things
sustainable.
It's just going to blacken
my eyes.
Everything is made to break
like flushing flutes
spinning flat in the cheap galleries.
Where have you been tonight
in your red suede shoes? 
Mirroring shadow cats again.
rolling like a tear drop?
Pretending to be
heaven's gate ways. 
Just beware okay
be aware,
I know what it's like.
And I've come home,
back now.
