Dopamine

My eyes have turned so green

My pastures have given life to…

Dreams of evergreen

Breathe life into the morning, into the morning

Streams of emeraldine

Bring life into the morning, into the morning

Bleeding, bludgeoning, receding

I give, you win my sleep

In my slumber our worlds collide

Denied all the things I wanted

All the things I’ve given

Love show me what I must give

To make you stay here with me

Far is no good to the closeness I crave

We can never be more than breathe

To a memory that fears no death

Whispers hold on to skirting boards

Lest they speak what they can’t afford

Those great walls with big ears to hoard

Every node is a well for those odes that once wished you well

And all the errors were once fortunes

That reigned supreme in a world where we feasted on subtleties

Where we feasted on Dopamine.
