My Elixir

(album: Alpha Zulu - 2022)

The coast is clear
I cannot bend
Be in bed around 10
And you're not near

Am I lost when you're sincere
But I cannot let you in
We're both in tears
Look who doesn't doesn't doesn't doesn't care
And grabs the mistletoe

My elixir
You'd better not drink it
It brings you fear and nothing's sacred
If your dad says so
I'm about to know
No! No! No! No...

Can we go home?

Unlike I told you
Nobody knows you've failed the test
Found a picture on your bed
Add a wish up on your list
Somebody help me put up the fences
Burn all the bridges
Is there anybody else?
Is there anyone who cares?

And in your mirror
I might as well turn into a prop for you
So will you cross this new frontier?
It doesn't look so grim
When we're both in tears
Tell me anywhere is home

Can we go home?
