Static

static

noise in my ears
noise in my head
tuning in static
like screams of dread

sad sounds fill the air
brings thoughts of things unfair
tragic road traveled, so turn around
slippery slope tears the skin as you slide

feel your heart beat, it reminds you
see your skin wrinkle, it reminds you
smell your decay, it reminds you
that you’ll be gone someday

one by one, one by one
the journey begins, the journey ends
one by one, one by one,
the magic grows the pain,
and stops it once again.

electricity is something felt
tightens the chest like a closing belt
the cries of a baby, the screams of the doomed
a race car shifts and the birds they croon

metal on metal, clash by sounds design
something made, something cold
prick the skin and melt the mold.

feel your heart beat, it reminds you
see your skin wrinkle, it reminds you
smell your decay, it reminds you
that you’ll be gone someday

one by one, one by one
the journey begins, the journey ends
one by one, one by one,
the magic grows the pain,
and stops it once again.
