" Cherry Coloured Slush"
Take your sad devotion
your safety not guaranteed
run through snowy pathways
running through Christmas trees
i swear i heard a gunshot
i never had to run like this.
In the meantime
red and white mix to form ice
cherry flavored slush
the silent sigh of the speechless hush
footprints as big as tire tracks
keep on moving
never turn back.
Winter masks corrosion
the flesh turns blue to freeze
this tundra feels like a snake bite
as the lungs gives up to wheeze.
once again i hear a gunshot
i should never have to live like this!
In the meantime
red and white form ice
cherry slush
such a rush
in the moonlight
whiteout obscures vision
with nothing left to heal.
there's been a killing or two
animal footprints two by two
i think we should form a merger
because i feel eating meat is murder.
And in the meantime
red and white form ice
cherry slush
such a rush under the spotlight
greed robs us of insight
There is numbness no feeling
Does there have to be a killing?
your safety not guaranteed
run through snowy pathways
running through Christmas trees

i never had to run like this.
