there's a silence
it's almost anechoic, atmospheric ...
creeping, crawling back into the crevices
in a delicate unexpected exposure
which unfolds naturally
creeping, crawling back into the crevices
in a delicate unexpected exposure
which unfolds naturally
it's a silence where one can hear the blood
rushing through one's head
in that familiar din of chaos and disrepair
in our dissolving
antarctica
late in the game
it's beyond that experience
of being up north
at midnight in the late summer months
the place where I was born
and lived - only years later
beyond words actually

ok, it's kind of like a thunderstorm moving in
layering this musty sleeping bag above ground
layering this musty sleeping bag above ground
falling asleep - cool air - gentle waves out there
on the french river in northern ontario
remembering the kodak momento
on the french river in northern ontario
remembering the kodak momento
quiet
for now
for now
sitting on the bow of a simple sermon earlier
staring into the unknown
listening
listening
sounding silence
it's a tense sense of peace and tranquility that defies definition
it's a release from the cage
from all the tragedies and injustices
that persist in resistance
our spaceship "earth"
is in a state of disrepair
who can save us
?

and so here we are
away from abuse
away from a blood thirst
greedy employers who want more
greedy employers who want more
than they deserve
and getting it
and getting it
far from the pain and suffering
away from everything
flashbacks are flashes of light
refurbishing a cerebral landscape from a rolling rocker
drifting - a soft sleep that puts one's mind at ease

drifting - a soft sleep that puts one's mind at ease
dreaming
it's a frosty lens - carefully crafted
to a rumbling subsonic mutilation
rain clatter on a tenuous tent
drifting
feeling weightless
fumbling in a free-fall, hearing voices
in the vertigo

mommy and daddy
living the Canadian dream
mom getting pregnant early
subconsciously thinking - not much time
she's in haste management - he's in waste management
subconsciously thinking - not much time
she's in haste management - he's in waste management
ok, dad's in a perpetual loop - procrastination masturbation
not ready to engage on any level
not ready to engage on any level
that requires any real presence
and yet - despite the pause
all part of his conditioning
all the appropriate appliances are in place
a fridge full of cold beer
a late model car in the driveway
and a new black and white
television
anticipating technicolour
on the small screen
a job that pays
and three squares a day
lovingly prepared by someone
who is supposed to mean something
and yet - despite the pause
all part of his conditioning
all the appropriate appliances are in place
a fridge full of cold beer
a late model car in the driveway
and a new black and white
television
anticipating technicolour
on the small screen
a job that pays
and three squares a day
lovingly prepared by someone
who is supposed to mean something
dreaming of a new life
free from restrictions
free from the empty promises
of what can never be
calibrated correctly
calibrated correctly
it's going back
to something that's gone now
finding comfort
in the void
"i’m chasing more ideas
it doesn’t matter here"
it doesn’t matter here"
it's in the water, earth ... sky
it's a release that envelopes us and yes
it's a reminder of who I really am
and what I want to experience
in the short time that we have here
it's what I want to remember
when I fade
to black
sounding silence
and so
a return to the music
that makes me feel whole again
yet worth - another listen
"you crossed this line"
and so

anticipating technicolour! love this - great writing bro
