Thermoregulation Failure on Stage
in my own torment i’ve severed the very cord that keeps this heart beating
in my haste to divert my eyes from your seemed lack of concern
no time was wasted in pulling the plug on the whole operation
yet it seems to escape through your peripheral
when i put you high atop your pedestal
i never thought you’d look so far down
and from my unwilling stage
the curtain fell on another bridge burned to the ground
when i fell so low on the bar
i never thought i’d drink myself to an empty fold
and from my inauspicious audience
the silence fell on a cast gone cold
dark and screened to perform the sacrament of penance,
in confessing my sins, dear Father told me to pray
to be cleansed of the demon that bid me such ill
but with my unorthodox nature, Lord likely turn me away
