There Was Nothing (We Could Do)

The hypnotizing music sets in

Rhythm dissolves into the epitome of abstract

As the familiar crutch is ripped away



Sit down.

[breathe]

Stand up.

[pace]



Hearing conflicting voices

Walk into the jaws of hell

Propelled by a now unknown force

With no protection, into the darkness

a  g r i d

           llliiinnneeesss  everywhere



Growing and intensifying

We can wipe you out anytime

The drums are threatening me

Don't underestimate us...

anytime...



The confusion lessens,

At the realization...

Hysteria

   Sets

      In

Laughter unlike any other kind

Maniacal, cleansing

Purged of built up filth



Rejuvenated by the raindrops



Suddenly it dissipates into static silence

and I'm on my own

   breathless and disoriented

To get it together



Become reacquainted with gravity.
