thrill

sometimes it doesn't make sense, so you just gotta have fun with it... here's one way...
(i do realize this is a silly badly written thing, but it's the idea behind it that i like...)


Yes... I'm a Thrill:

Yes… I’m a thrill

You’ll think I’m still, holding it, in…
But I’ll peek-a-boo you when you least expect it

I’ll follow you with my eyes,
I’ll keep you guessing,
Oh wait… surprise!
Why aren’t you laughing?

Now, don’t get lazy
Don’t ask for mercy
There, we’re shifting…
Oh I’ll play along…
Until I hear my song,
And start moving
At my own pace,
To another place…

Yes… Yes… I’m a thrill

rock bottom?


In these moments:
In these moments I wonder
Where it could have all been
What would have happened if…
That’s a deep well, I know,
But the void is calling me…
In these moments I whisper
Lord, where have you been
Lord, is there an outcome
Could you hurry and let it be
The void is absurd, but the void is better
Than the bottom where I have been lingering
Insipid and flattened
Too many burdens crushing my will
No more senses to sustain any transformation
This is where I don’t want to be
I am no phoenix, turn off the fire
I can’t discern the singing from the screams
Every hand that is extended
Disappears as instantly as it appeared
I can’t appreciate that humor
And I won’t even if I get out of here…
There’s a darker place in the making
And I am terrified of what will happen
In these moments of fear

free


written in the space of one Kate Bush song...
sometimes these things just want to get out, i wasn't even controlling the flow much... there was no struggle... there were words wanting to form images and be free...


Listen…

In the wake of the desires
Splashed across your forehead
You tripped and almost fell
Felt like a wakeup call maybe
A glimpse of the desperation lurking
So your body reacted
So your body screamed
And your conscience retracted
It should have been the opposite
What a bore, what we want
What a pity what we need
Strange wishes kept hidden
'Don’t want to listen, don’t want to listen... '
And your body reacted
And your conscience shrieked
And somewhere a voice sang
Be ready to listen, listen…
