Toxic Heaven

Toxic paradise

Intoxicated emancipation

Wide awake sober

Dancing in mind fields

With paper in hand

Just to stop the blood flow

A military Tourette’s syndrome

Mimicking outbursts with real bombs

Involuntary sudden

The pain is real

Forever forbidden to let anyone know

Hiding all the obligation

Drinking the anniversary booze

This world is toxic

And it is our paradise

The only heaven we will ever know

Asylum in a bible

That gets burned

The cleric suspended

In a toxic universe

Eleven long years

Joining a cryptic silent circle

Relationships with misfits and monsters

Wide awake sober

Inflatable reality

Free your mind to this toxic paradise

Dancing in a mind field

The music so loud

There is no way of thinking

All this with military planning

And the bombs are real

Involuntary sudden

With a news paper in hand

To stop the blood flow

Group of eight gather

Reconciling tax flow

Turbulence in a toxic world

Only one killed

Four maimed in that mind field

Children at play

Lingering after a liquid peace

Only the mothers cry

Fathers marking the time

The syndrome of war
