I'll burn it out

I'm so pleased with myself. This is the first song I've written in quite a long time now.

Nuclear

By J. Charles Lacson

Red circles whirling through my head
In candy sheets and sweetened thread.
Bitter seeds and a melting sun
Protect me from the peppermint man.

I never know
When the boiling ink will spoil my day.
I never know
When an angry breeze will blow my sail.

Can't the world just give me a chance?
Just hear me out,
Just hear me out.
Can't the world just give me some time?
I'll burn it out,
I'll burn it out.

My blood in a coffee cup
Stains his shirt and burns his crotch.
An angry voice and a sheltered mind
You could never trust them to be kind.

I never know
When a selfish god will burn my soul.
I never know
When the cloudy sky will eat me whole.


Can't the world just give me a chance?
Just hear me out,
Just hear me out.
Can't the world just give me some time?
I'll burn it out,
I'll burn it out.
