Delugenia

Take the words "deluge" and "mania". Now mix em. That's how ya say it. :)

Tippen the ice with my fault lined breath.
Cracks in the air and frequency piercing the mind.
Look at the masses letting it slip right by their faces.
Don't walk straight, don't walk straight, don't walk straight....
Into the trap, feelin' the heart attack, with panic on your back.
Burn up underneath the covers, with hope in my eyes.

Hey you.
Your condition is dire my friend.
I'd really love to touch you.
To let me know that I'm still alive.

If I could.

Beat the look right off your face. (I'd like to.)
Get away with a bag of tricks over my shoulder.
Living in the ruts elders made for us in time, in time.
Cause there's an order to this, there's an order for this.
Blister, cry, heal, rebuild, create, to fill the hole.
To fill the hole.
To let me know that it's still alive, and I'll breath tomorrow.


Hey you.
Your condition is dire my friend.
I'd really love to touch you.
To let me know that I'm still alive.
Cause you don't say much.
When your sleeves rust, exposed.
Your condition is dire my friend.
Humanity makes my stomach cringe.
Spitting teeth, spitting teeth.
Stab the city, in its sleep.
Stab the city, in its sleep.

No reason to hurt, f**k the sleep and let it populate.
Like flowers in a field, not like bad thoughts.
Like bats in a cave, dark and deep, dark and deep.
Beyond the point of scientific sleep, therapy.
It takes an idea, it takes place, in your head.

Hey you.
Your condition is dire my friend.
I'd really love to touch you.
To let me know that I'm still alive.
Hey you.
Your condition is dire my friend.
I'd really love to touch you.
To let me know that I'm still alive.

Read it twice to get a feel for it and MAN what a FEEL. This is wreaking with fear of mortality and our failing society and failing mental and physcial health .. all wrapped up in words..just spilling words .. in what seems like babble .. but is quite far from it.
Really dig this piece. A lil look at a bit of insanity. The first paragraph really zings you into an off-kilter world and then the speakers condition just progresses and we discover more as he gets sicker. Like I said, I really dig it.

I like how you used the repetitive words "hey you ....to let me know i'm still alive". in a mockingly calming manner.

Really like the last two stanzas .. they tie it up nicely with a little neurotic bow.
