Celluloid Burns

(1)
Are you there - in the light?
Dancing shadows – none so bright
Memories of you captured on celluloid
Kept in boxes – the attic’s mind
The lamp’s flicker – the reels in turn
What keeps you here – the celluloid burns
Ref 1:
While you’re sleeping
In the darkest nights above us all
The light starts your dancing
And your heartbeats by the reels will start
(2)
Dead by day – alight by night
I keep you sleeping when it’s too bright
But my memory fades with time
Distant pictures – merge to one
Keep you running – on and on
I cast your soul on celluloid
Ref 2:
While you were sleeping
In your darkest nights beneath my hands
Alone I’m breathing
Since your voice has ceased so long ago
You are still dancing
By electric lights and my own hand
Buried beneath
And above you are alive on celluloid

I have a trunk full of friends
For the young and the old
Maybe an M-16 or a six barrel colt
I am dressed like the others
Wearing a suit and a tie
Or have you ever seen a killer who’s wearing a fly
Ref:
I mow you down
You’ re all the same
Employee of the month, bringer of pain
I spill your blood
Your brain’s on-screen
I make your coffee with sugar and scream
Who’s laughing now, ha ha ha, sorry
This joke’s on you, finally, I win
(2)
In my lunchbox, there’s an apple
To keep the doc away
But also there’s a C4 to blow you all astray
I brought you a lovely cake
With an almond like taste
It will make you shiver first, but with foam it goes away
Bridge:
On the chair your’re standing on, there’s a post-it that reads “kick me”
Hang in there, still on-line, there’s no more work in progress
With the cable ‘round your neck, You wished you had gone wireless
Now I’m chairman of the board
