This Time

We did all that we could do But we failed the last review A virus spreads to me from you Sickening me too My green light, peters out, out of view Shadowed, in the dusky blue My envy turns me stone Birthday's in two days But I guess I'll be alone Melodrama feeds me I know Time flies when I'm running high Until the pathway breaks I'm rolling down a black hole With no sense to escape And I indulge the feeling And romanticise its tone When the summer turns to winter And a high drops to a low But time flies in turbulence It's high time I learn I'm powered by the cycle Between joy and yearning Sometimes I'll thirst for just A moment of bliss But that second on my lips Gives a life that I can't miss I'm longing this time But soon I'll be fine Max asks me if I have a view Says 'Cat's thought it through' A carpenter with work to do But I have no excuse A singer doesn't have that kind of use So I sink into the blue And burrow in my mind Till suddenly there's better news A flicker of a light So I make the melodrama My muse Time flies as I'm running high Feeding all my aches With no sense of a black hole Or desire to escape And I indulge the feeling And romanticise its tone When summer springs from winter And a high comes from a low But time flies in turbulence It's high time I learn I'm powered by that cycle Emotions always turning I'll keep on going Chasing bliss For that second on my lips Gives the life that I can't miss I'm longing this time But soon I'll be fine
