Can you feel it now?
Anti-gravity
Tricking your body
Into sinking low
Passed the scope of the known
Passed setting stars, down, down,
Always, forever, down…

I can’t tell above from below
Trapped is my plight in a silent scream
I lack the frequency, or is it bravery
To let loose sound from these chapped lips
I’m afraid of what’s hidden between the lines
Not the lies, but the truth in the white noise
Afraid of the shapes in the static:
I’ll never make it back.

Your plastic smile promised amidst flickering imagery a promised afterlife,
An alleged paradise with which to feed a faith not mine, hoping mayhap to cheat death,
Even if pretentiously, falsely adopted in panic induced, delirious fervor.
I fly amongst the debris, all that’s left hindering me no more, for, I’m free
I am become alive.
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
The monster you made me?

What are some of the bands that you guys listen to when you write? If you listen to music at all when doing so that is. I'm having trouble finding something new.

I listen to music and let myself get lost in it, mixing my thoughts with the melody and hoping inspiration comes up. So I can relate to this poem
