Chronic Lyme Disease
I tuned it out
Felt the vibrance and the truth
And it felt cold
I saw light like never before
Lesions erupting like a child stolen
By a riptide from a sandy shore
Mucus dancing drowning lung fluid
So much denial
Cutting out
Inflammation and dreams
The clock moves but time was still
Today is the opportunity
Tonight I'll dream to remember once more
Today all these road maps carved
We travel time but never go anywhere
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn you on
I wanna turn
Lose the feeling not the sensation
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want it more then I could ever know
In the riptide waving goodbye to the shore
Bruised and castrated
I wanna turn you onnnnnnnnnnn
I want to turn you
I want it more
