The Last Taste

I sat in a box with a flickering screen
Punching the numbers, living between
The coffee and clock, the clock and the door
I almost forgot what I was living for

A drink after work, a ghost in a bed
A face I won’t remember when I wake up instead
I told myself this is what life is
A cosy room and a quiet whizz

Another night I saw the crack
The mirror showed a man I lacked
No fire, no risk, no scar, no name
Just a player who forgot how to play the game

So I burned it all, I cut the chain
I sold the suit, I bought the rain
I chased the sun to an island shore
To feel something real before I was no more

The hut was small, the sea was wide
I learned to pull the nets at tide
The fishermen laughed, I learned their words
I thought I’d finally found my world

But at night the boats would slide in dark
No lights, no names, just a distant bark
I heard the cries, I heard the thud
I buried my head in the island mud

I told myself it wasn’t my fight
I came for peace, not for the night
But the silence grew a heavier weight
And I was already part of the bait

I thought I’d burned it, I thought I was free
But the island was a cage they built for me
A pretty trap with a sunlit door
And I was already on the floor

I came back early, the door was ajar
A shadow slipped out, didn’t go far
I found the parcel, white and packed
And I knew the role I’d played — the act

I could call the law, I could run and hide
Or take what they used to go for a ride
One chance to taste what I never had
A chance for a good man to go bad

I took the boat, I took the score
I thought I’d make it to another shore
The engine screamed, the wind was high
And I almost saw the new better sky

But they found me fast in the open sea
Two shadows that were meant together to be
They didn’t ask, they didn’t care
They just left me alone floating there

I smiled in the water, I whispered low
“I could have lived — I could have let it go”
But the last taste burned, the last taste was true
And the sea turned red, and the sky turned blue

…the last taste.
