Life In Stereo

Let me fade into the darkness of the nightUntil my heart is a picturesque silhouetteI dance in the rain so nobody can see me cryAnd walk upon broken glass to be freeMy peace of mind is a plagued diseaseAs desolate sirens scream out my nameI avoid the truth with the seduction of silenceAnd admire my strength to surviveAs my heart bleeds into my wordsI speak to you until I am deadAn ignored thought to prove I am aliveThis music saves my soulBlasting my failures through stereo speakersUntil smiles are painted upon my skinAnd the notes are words burned in my mindVerses of disaccorded serenityChoruses with afflictions of solitudeA melody of inflicted scarsA harmony of torrential disasterA signature of momentary collapseBut the lies decorate me beautifulAnd the sins make me gorgeousFlats and sharps and natural occurrencesA rhythm of timeless predictionsA tempo with the articulation of perfectionAn octave higher than my last great demisePlay me until I am an exploited faultForgiven of the treachery I performThese instruments sing the therapyTo give me a sullen peace of mindBut your betrayal is more than I can tolerateIf only I could imagine this doesn’t break my heartAnd feel the way I do in my dreamsAs this scenery I design fades to blackPromises are spoken in a theatre of liesBut I believe this music can salvage my soulIf only you hold me long enough to forgive my sinsThis truth is not simple to deny in my presenceAs I breathe my heart onto the salt of your skinAnd you listen to my life play on repeatThrough speaker wires that transmit my painAcross the endless outlets of media agenciesAnd broadcasted live on channels and stationsLost in the words of communicationWhere the sounds of my heart become so distantMy last breath fades into the stars of the night

Welcome to Neo Twilight Jewel

Geeze this is a jewel of a poem, pardon the pun of using your name, so well written with such passion. For me, the music that I listen to is played out from my feelings at the time. And music has been a source of healing for centuries...I love, love it. Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell
