Ain't Gonna Call

(album: Sermon On Desire - 2018)

Dreaming about her
Dripping pendulum curls
That pull at your world
As your minds swim together
The dark of your night cannot douse out the light
That shines on the Heather

I melt at the sight that bleeds crude and divine
And spits life on the ashes
I'll take what I can before I wake up
Then I'll leave forever
It's a routine delay that I always replay
And place on display
It's my calling card when I'm falling apart

I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
Again
Again
Again

Moonlight trickles through the shutters
Subtle dim-lit appeal
Flickers hints over contours
And leaves me in tatters
"I'll bare all the scars", the final remarks
Of a man at his limits
The sugared scent of desire, leaks fuel in the fire
And fogs up perceptions

Cue the hazy hum that grips at your lungs
Like it's begging you for something
To cave or remain the pristine young slave
To the draw of the lightning
It gets harder to shake
With no moves left to make

I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
I ain't gonna call you again
Again
Again
Again
