sitting beside
darkness resides
song tells a story
move, just ride

flow, we go
in and out
roots sprout
showing myself

crescent like
turn down your mic
lights, so fluorescent
pass my depressants

song soothes, a quiet breeze
lion in the night, but far from highest
the climate, stuck in riot
scratching diamonds, we play impossible
while the hostile lie with fossils

story unfolds as the gospel rises
no control, variations left untold
playing fools gold, light your smoke
dancing in your hocus pocus

blacked out, no focus – shaking, to the lowest
stuck in hypnosis, listening to words softly spoken
there goes psychosis, your nose
the notes, the lack of notice

fetch you roses, broken tunes
blues play for you, a hopeless dose
there you float, high above the moon
it’s red, just like the tears and sorrow
but the truth? i miss you

adieu
