Today is the first day of Summer, well not technically, but it sure feels like it. And with the transition of seasons comes a mix of emotions, a simmering hidden passion, a longing for change, and memories of things that haven't even happened yet.
Atomic Fuzz
I've traversed a hundred summers
Seen the setting of a thousand suns
Run to the edge of the desert
Watched the rains bring on the floods
Never found another face like yours
Never encountered another soul
Never replaced the love I lost
There is no one else like you
In the darkness of this bombed out city
The silence of ruined honeycombs
The hive, the hub of mutant monsters
Of all the poison built up inside my heart
I've never sat at the table
Never been one for the food of the gods
No Manna ever came from heaven
No monsoon ever washed me out
But all the same I came down the river
And felt the Earth shake beneath my feet
And knew there was more to me than madness
When I saw your face I learned my name
And I guess I'm still running
Still chasing dragon tails and phoenix fire
Fairies in moss-covered gardens
What these forgotten folk call love
Dancing in this trance of sleep
As deep as dreams and twice as heavy
This is where I learned your name
And felt your power take me
Back to the beginning
Where that first atom divided
And sparked the sky will arcing lightning
Prometheus and a ball of clay
One pale face in the night forever
And a thousand ancient eyes
Out on the horizon's cutting edge
Just bleeding, wishing I was dead
I've never slipped beneath the surface
But I'm suffocating all the same
Ain't never had the strength for nothing
If you catch me drifting in
No sacrifices for the taking
Just the son rise and rise again
Praying that the summer bring me
Back around to you again
I could never forget beauty
Cause you carry it across my skies
And though I'll never get to touch it
At least I know it's still alive
