Shallow Water Blackout

Shallow Water Blackout - Every Time I Die

Neuron flash in fifty watts

Pinpointing to the streetlight limbo

Told me it was chemistry

Why I behave like this

Why I move in misdirected impulse

And speak in scrambled clusters of white noise

Traction is not a term of endearment

Death is an experiment best conducted face down

Vertigo may not include spinning

But it ought to

I am languid in the puddle

Face full of concrete cellophane

Don't say a single f**king word

Unless you speak with a drowning tongue

I'm not listening

I'm not focusing

My eyes have sunk and set

And I am invincible

I'm water proof

Someone said that heaven

Was just coincidence

Collision of electrons

Well this is not the time

Before touching me

I am a conduit changing colors

Frantic humming televisions

Conducting city spasms

Shorting voltage like a fuse

C'mon

Get out

The elevating vibration of hysteria

Amplified by the armor of the tarn

Flashing lights paint veins across the sky

And everyone along the roadside

Just wants to see a saint

Not the serenity of sirens

The allure of the femme fatale

And her defibrillator hands can't stop me now

I feel quite all right

I feel quite all right
