Caffeine

My sweet release, this twist of fulfillment
In enchanted coffee cups where dreams all come true
Spiraling away for a little while just to
Sweep my soul into this delirium

One step, two steps, and a savior is born
Under silicone skies, a plasticine girl
Sudden humor, breaking through helium balloons
Inhaling intoxication from the darkened perfumes

Branding the joke, the sky, and all these dreams will cease
No beauty no faith and I will rest at last, please
Stumbling away from the shackles that bind
One chemical fix for another deadened mind

Couldn't save her soul, she's got a story to tell
There is a man sleeping in late, with no one at all
But she will find her mate, they will embrace
Maybe someday she'll get off the plane

To see the sunny shore and free her eyes
the light is cold, the morning is dead
But for all the words she heard them say
Not one of them could ever be repeated

As she casts a lonely stare
Away down a hall of white and grey full of memories
She wonders why there's nothing but this fix
When it all boils down to chemical transparencies
