lyrics

Spark! Ingenious! Drive intact.
Lightbulb filament wire lit up like a match.
The pressure's growing inside glowing glass.
I can see! Electricity impromptu; jagged edges radiate through
my scalp to illuminate the room.
The hair stands out of my head; burnt like birthday candle wicks.
Eyes flicker black and white static.
Surge burnt it out. Light fallen back.
Technician brain is lazy, unskilled, drunk and fat.
It can't be fixed; you just can't force it back.
Patiently! It's a shard of glass in the sand;
it gets the blood flowing and then it scabs again.
It's a run on sentence and it never stops and it never progresses and
it never ends; the cycle stands, waiting for another conductive end
to jump to and fill the bulb again.
