Test Tube Messiah

(album: Toward A Never Ending New Beginning - 2023)

I really wish I wasn't scared of confrontation or dental care
Or going to sleep without you there
But let me have my little madness, let me dirty up your purity
Embrace my broken body

'Cause I'm happy most of the time
But I really wish we didn't all have to die
'Cause the beat of my heart will shake the earth like all those damn horses riding up to heaven

Take me like the earth takes a falling star
Burn away my inflated ego as I fall into your arms

Heartbreak down on me
Bones skin eyes blood and teeth
Tell why I feel this in my knees
In clockwise serenity
I'm a devil and devotee
Why does the end of us feel like the end of everything

But I'm gonna be okay

She's got red nails and brow hair
The sun flood her soft eyes
And it makes me feel sick inside
But I don't trust in drugstore America
I don't trust your test tube messiah's
'Cause I know I'm gonna be okay
I know that the universe is just like me
Filled up with "black holes", a troubled past, and mostly empty

Take me like the earth takes a falling star
Burn away my inflated ego as I fall into your arms

Heartbreak down on me
Bones skin eyes blood and teeth
Tell why I feel this in my knees
In clockwise serenity
I'm a devil and devotee
Why does the end of us feel like the end of everything

But I'm gonna be okay
