From Basements We See StarsA Poem by Trayce
We have crawled from the underworld all claws
And false hopes have sold us down the river of prophets. Allah akbar! God is not good. Man can become inhuman and here is the point of the revolution. A few beers, substances, years and friends have gone the way of the handwritten letter. A generation responsible for the comatose of the novel A titanic in a bottle We are clichés regaining popularity The polarity so thick you could hold it with a magnet As we dance a generation of electricity as the dj spins the galaxies we drop the needle straight into the brain. Trans-cranial magnetic stimulation, the ear buds grow into forests in our skulls broadcasting the musicians soul straight into our consciousness. Turn that beat back to the point of cellular differentiation that protocardiac beatbox becoming a drum machine of four chambers and the valves clapping together like tambourines . You can make me quiver like a heart full of arrows Patron saint of the fatherless You can miss what once was loved but now has gone away. Memories of pain never go away Letting go was a catharsis We have buried the evidence deep in our chests And the most primitive corners of these reptilian brains Crazy apes walking in the shadow of gods We have invented zepplins and hot air balloons some call dogma some call philosophy Blotting out infinity with temporary sollutions to permanent conundrums Every one of us is alone in the universe No man is an island but everybody is a galaxy Mostly just empty space with concentrated anomalies Getting lost in the details to spite the trail of destruction and breadcrumbs and dead skin cells we leave along the path Understanding that you are an accident makes you more beautiful than anything we could have planned. Circumstance is our victim The first link in the chain of events. The blasting cap that started the big bang Don't just hang around like an iron Maiden Our skeletons will dance in the wind... breakdance Doing Dutch windmills Don't put your thumb in a dyke Or fly a kite in a lighting storm We are all compensating for everything Be as loud as you can To not forget yourself Hear the echo as you fade off into nothingness © 2013 Trayce |
