lyrics

‘cos i see you hustling down the street,
you could never be discreet
and that is
a dead end,
so you’re gonna have to turn around
and
come back through my part of town
and naturally
descend
into second nature,
our achilles heel,
a
rookie culture of futile feels
from tragic
and tireless
boys and girls who hunt for love
on
the never ending stretch of road
where i
just shot
your boyfriend.

now i realize
that murders rude
as i gaze at
an exit wound,
wielding a
smoking gun
that i probably should
go get rid of
but i am
the chimera
and it looks like
i spit mad fire
born from
self-interest,
the creature
egotistical and blistered.

i see you up on the horizon,
the homecoming is unsurprising.
don’t defend
that corpse.
she begins getting closer to me
and
i can feel the temperature rising.
the girls up
in smoke.
i haul ass to
meet her halfway,
defying the middle of the fray
shrouded
by riots.
aliens from the weeds move in,
they’re
here to shame salvation today.
“but you shot her boyfriend!”

“that’s not important.”
“its sorta vital.”
“i’m fighting
for the
world fucking title
‘cos if i lose this,
that’ll be it.
i’ll get piss drunk
and reminisce
about the gilded age,
a woman who just
got engaged,
my life will get
devastated by inhumane tidal

waves...
washing me away.”
found drowned yesterday.
i wonder what he’d say
from his watery grave,
i wonder if he prayed,"
let her find me,
find me in the fray"?

so i’ll be chimera,
your running mascara.
i’ll start being a dick,
the ultimate conjuring trick.

i’ll be chimera.
