Flame Touching

I dunno why I’m looking into the lights

As if they’ve never made me dizzy

But I got this beating screaming fight

Inside my belly gone all fizzy

It’s easier to avoid the draw

When it’s daylight and I’m busy

Even in the arse end of nowhere

The traffic in my heart is centre of the city

---

I’ve spent my life pouring and drawing

With this hunger to be pretty

But all days age and the paint

Gets thick and gritty

I begged God for this look to buy

And he promised to tick me

So naive in my desperation

He couldn’t believe the ease he tricked me

---

But the light still burns

I yearn to touch what’s glittery

I see this world with individual eyes

Find pure genius in my ditties 

Make out arts in the parts

That should only be seen literally

That engulfing pupil in my vision

Doubles as I stare habitually

---

I’ve tried on all these prototypes

Still ain’t found the one to fit me

I used to drag through galaxy smooth dips

But now my fingertips get bitty

I graze a nail through the blinding beam

And suddenly it hits me

I’ve been looking into the light

And now the light is in me

---

I never asked to shine, though

Never wanted to be brilliant

That light is in my eyes though

It powers on resilient 

I never asked to shine, though

Never wanted to be brilliant

That light is in my eyes though

It powers on

Resilient.
