Slow descending to oblivion
Rolling turning straining synapse
Glue gun clumsy style
Diamonds made of plastic
Still sparkle when you smile
Descend into some memory
Undisturbed now for a while
Sticky stodgy melody
Beyond the lyric’s clarity
Words that pull the truth to light
Are lost in bland disparity
Shuffle through the undergrowth
The quest for similarity
Winter foggy slow and dim
The evening trickles in
I baked today through cotton thoughts
But I’m ready to begin
Thudding pulse in distant chest
That holds my heart within
Longing, loner listless life
Yet filled to over-flowing
I feel the disappearance
Of the greatness ever growing
Focussed somewhere else from now
And fading with my knowing
Even knowing fading
Like the images of joy
No protest, no disruption
With such a method soft destroy
Just fade into oblivion
Slower motion gods decoy
Glue gun clumsy style
Diamonds made of plastic
Still sparkle when you smile
Descend into some memory
Undisturbed now for a while
Sticky stodgy melody
Beyond the lyric’s clarity
Words that pull the truth to light
Are lost in bland disparity
Shuffle through the undergrowth
The quest for similarity
Winter foggy slow and dim
The evening trickles in
I baked today through cotton thoughts
But I’m ready to begin
Thudding pulse in distant chest
That holds my heart within
Longing, loner listless life
Yet filled to over-flowing
I feel the disappearance
Of the greatness ever growing
Focussed somewhere else from now
And fading with my knowing
Even knowing fading
Like the images of joy
No protest, no disruption
With such a method soft destroy
Just fade into oblivion
Slower motion gods decoy
