There's a dragon 
Blowing fire 
In my ventricles 
And I can feel 
The grip now 
Of these tentacles 
And I had ideas 
Back when I was very young 
Like the back of my hand 
I thought I'd understand 
But now I find myself 
Just playing dumb 

Heartburn 
And my soul 
Is red raw 
Inside 
Heartburn 
And don't the world look different 
When you're lying on the floor 
Heartburn 
And my soul 
Is red raw 
Inside 
Heartburn 
And don't the world look different 
When you're lying on the floor 

There's a lion 
Tearing holes 
In my ventricles 
And I'm feeling 
The effect now 
Of these combining chemicals 
And I had ideas 
Back when I was very young 
I thought I could weather the storm 
I would not need your warmth 
But now I find myself 
Just praying for the sun 

I'm not joking 
The floor is sloping 
Towards the things I never wanted to be near 
The drop of a tear 
Another year 
Seen in retrospect 
Images I collect
