Ahead

What Lay Ahead

Some protestors talked to me today
They wanted to know why I didn’t help
For years, negativity I portrayed
In a government and society I hated

So you are asking why I did not join you...

Petitions signed
Referendums passed
I voiced my opinion
And the tyrant went to war despite me

I have no faith left
To be offered to this forum
My patience is drained
And I don’t want to talk about it

My friends and I made a decision
We’re gonna play
Make music together
We’re going to touch each other
Find an escape
Shivering up the nape
Of a sword piercing the red blotches

The green
The blue
And black spots

Sticky residue
So wonderful
He blew it up
And launched
Twisting between
Two fantasies
Present since...
Years gone by

Will you join me?
Make me feel whole
Even as an oil well drills into my heart
There is some there for you
Milk me
I am ready
I’m sure you would be too
If it weren’t for this present arrangement
Maybe someday we’ll do it
One day
Until then, hold on
We are going to have to brave harsh weather
And sandstorms
To hold it all together
The system is going to be pumped
Far beyond the norm
I want it to be
I want to be overclocked
And to empty it all
My thoughts and more
All into you
