Capsize

Her love capsized my boat
And do I love the one I quote
As she urges me to get help
But it feels a lot like butter to melt
Near a furnace roar
And I adore
All that made me fail
There is an ocean on which to sail
With flags at full mast
Nothing there that will last
Coz they sell a dream you can’t reach
And all I’ve learned just won’t teach
That which isn’t true
I learned the lie from you
But I won’t go on repeating what’s wrong
An error the basis for the whole song
That you sing in your sleep
But it’s a promise I cannot keep
And I will not just follow the line
That has me servant to the winds of time
Though resistance is just another form
Of hate to keep the body warm
But I keep up with the beat
Issuing from the holy heat
Of a sun to burn
I just sit back and the axis turn
It’s not of my doing
But who am I pursuing
When I reach out to him
And should I let him in
Again, for one more go
I didn’t think it would be real, you know
