We did all that we could do

But we failed the last review

A virus spreads to me from you

Sickening me too

My green light, peters out, out of view

Shadowed, in the dusky blue

My envy turns me stone

Birthday's in two days

But I guess I'll be alone

Melodrama feeds me

I know

Time flies when I'm running high

Until the pathway breaks

I'm rolling down a black hole

With no sense to escape

And I indulge the feeling

And romanticise its tone

When the summer turns to wintеr

And a high drops to a low

But time flies in turbulencе

It's high time I learn

I'm powered by the cycle

Between joy and yearning

Sometimes I'll thirst for just

A moment of bliss

But that second on my lips

Gives a life that I can't miss

I'm longing this time

But soon I'll be fine

Max asks me if I have a view

Says 'Cat's thought it through'

A carpenter with work to do

But I have no excuse

A singer doesn't have that kind of use

So I sink into the blue

And burrow in my mind

Till suddenly there's better news

A flicker of a light

So I make the melodrama

My muse

Time flies as I'm running high

Feeding all my aches

With no sense of a black hole

Or desire to escape

And I indulge the feeling

And romanticise its tone

When summer springs from winter

And a high comes from a low

But time flies in turbulence

It's high time I learn

I'm powered by that cycle

Emotions always turning

I'll keep on going

Chasing bliss

For that second on my lips

Gives the life that I can't miss

I'm longing this time

But soon I'll be fine
