Do away with gibberish stories and lyrics. So much of this world already makes no sense whatsoever. Why push it? Why test it? I want tight-knit, understandable, powerful stories.
Do you feel the words you use from your heart?

'As The Crow Flies'
a song about navigation and an envy of the flight of birds
a longing to teleport
to transfer my position for that of another
briefly
a longing to return to a place
but also the fact that things will never be the same
a longing to return to a place and a time
return to that place in the present and those memories are corrupted forever
a longing to navigate through space and time to relieve select experiences
but the inability to do so
physically and scientifically an impossibility
but if it were possible the entire thread from then to now would be different with even the slightest deviation from the same decisions made eternally
the idea of eternal return. moments to relive and a desire to find the necessary transportation to get there.
I'm working to invent teleportation
tearing holes through space and time
so I can visit you every night

I manage to fry the exact brain cells required to erase you from my life with a few vague taps around the skull with a hammer. There might be something crazy in the execution of the idea, though the idea itself is extremely common. I must assume others have gone about the sleeping and the forgetting in a similar fashion. Killing miscellaneous brain cells at random with small doses of poison. Even miniscule doses add up when your liver can no longer handle the conversions necessary for you to remain physically functional with this much consumption of it. In order to cure your disease we must first make you chemically addicted to the substance, to the poison, but this time artificially created in a lab. Once you crave it, life or death, the receptors in your brain otherwise closed off are opening and gesticulating in a state essential for the only found antidote to work. The fluids, when injected through various key pressure points of the body, can only cause a positive action when these 'floodgates' are opened (you would be under sedation, thanks to modern medicine and aromatherapy and anesthesia). Perhaps in the middle of the procedure an earthquake occurs. Or a hostile takeover. Or a rioting gang takes over with machine guns in order to seek attention they feel their graffiti artwork on overpasses and dead bridges deserves. They are young and quick to violence. You are insane with craving when you come to. The procedure should have eliminated the desire for the substance while you slept. Now suddenly a junkie in its extreme. Finding yourself in slums of the city where the drug you need can be found in abundance through the correct connection. Perhaps it is just a chemical in the air. Get this procedure done to never deal with mental attachment to the substance. A source of global methlab explosions. Procedure to become sicker to get better goes awry because before the doctors and technicians are allowed to resuscitate the patient the procedure is interrupted for whatever reason. Flash flood. Lightning storm. Natural or human disaster. But what is the substance and why does it do this? Maybe it is an old drug company, now deeply out of business for ethical reasons, but prior to the chairman's suicide and the plants being shut down there was word of a 'airborne virus' method to attracting new customers. These were originally over the counter prescription pills. the very most addicting thing in the universe though it had no effect on your body at all aside from an addiction to it. it react with only the addiction center of the brain to the extent of lunacy.
