Venustus Coriolis

I sail along seven seas of starlight  
Not seeing land till I'm singing mayday  
My course crashes quick without candlelight  
Hold my hand on this digital stairway  
 
I float around when the weather's heavy  
For my life is a constant getaway  
Snapping back my center of gravity  
Thanks for the ride I'll be your stowaway  
 
When love stops being love  
I end up below when I was down above  
 
Falling asleep in ancient atriums  
At my best I am a whirlwind dreaming  
See my heart is a bleeding requiem  
In my chest with a ferocious feeling  
 
I risk running reverse with no applause  
There's something wrong you don't need to tell me  
My mind is a wreckage with a just cause:  
Be my heaven and I'll be your warning.
