Flutter

I brightened every room
I was fun to be around
I always had a smile, and helping hands
I was passionate, political
I was thoughtful and polite
I was a good son from a loving home

I took my mum to Zumba
Planned a trip with my dad
I had a girlfriend, we were making plans
I sang the karaoke
Played five-a-side on weekends
And I was always good with numbers

Fortune's flow
Flashing through the night
Won't let me live
Sticks alone, but still she's taken
All I've got to give

I skipped a lecture with a pocket full of change
From a flock, to a flutter, to a fix
In the dark alone
Spinning slots on my phone
I knew I wasn't done

Fortune's flow
Flashing through the night
Won't let me live
Sticks alone, but now she's taken
All I've got to give

They opened my attachment
And found me in the forest
Swaying in a sea of whispering trees
The sky was pink, the crows were keeling
But I left no debt behind
