Apollo Amateur

time to drive out to nowhere special
 just to believe you're thinking straight
 soothed by the blurred and interstitial
 happy to ruminate on hate
 slurring the words to half a love song
 shamed like the amateur on stage
 mouthful of coins for penny candy
 dreaming there's nothing more at stake
 it's so sweet
 taste fuel for faking
 love and dread
 soundtrack and a contract sewn tight unsaid
 thickening air, sickening siren
 lullaby far beyond the call
 makes too much noise about desire
 for words to mean anything at all
 it's so sweet
 taste fuel for faking
 love and dread
 soundtrack and a contract sewn tight unsaid
 it's some cheat
 the hand over your head
 put it to bed
 solace in a soulless insight
 lie well not to be a liar
 call out not to miss the call
 send yourself driving out to nowhere
 forswear the pride, you love the fall
 how can anybody know you
 you don't know yourself at all
