Heartburn

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

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

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

Answers correct

As we continue

To break and connect
