Lyric № 30312
Am I Still Here?
I am approaching what is known as the end
It's quite bizarre, these strange twists and bends
And desert cities under brimstone skies
Watch thousands of men give up, while one man tries
It's a winter game, with a night-shaped board
To win means double the silver dragon's hoard
There's a ruleless book with pages that thrill
The iron hand for which the ages are still
It's a rainbow, translucent as a pixie's dream
From light reflected in the desert stream
Wonderous words claim slowly hyperspeed grief
Floating from the jewelled tongue of the golden thief
It's a song that starts in the middle verse
While the dead man's sorcery hurls its little curse
Corroded answers ignore wandering muse
Which burden themselves with a sparkling fuse
Of a one-side square, decidedly odd
Pointedly the seeds of time glitter from their pod
Like a spaceship flying through the purple sea
That drips its sweet tears from an ancient tree
Seen by the little giant all dressed up in red
Who's moved into the space inside of your head
While we must consider the point that I missed
Do any of you lot actually exist?

PS i might write something happy
and remember, the owls are not what they seem!
Oh, and how is it possible for my tonsils to grow back unevenly? It sounds mighty amusing!
also, i said 'ahem' because of who you were asking that of.
i don't think i'm a tar heel. i wear shoes in the winter, but one time, when i was at band camp, uh, i mean, in the summer, i stepped in tar at the boat yard, and i guess that technically, i was one for a few hours or so, until i scrubbed it off.
what is the final token of which you speak?
i am sure my school had no mascot; only 22 graduated with BFAs. there were no teams or sports, except maybe competetive tequila slamming. i was a champion, for a brief but shining moment. then, well, another time, perhaps...
it hardly ever snows in CT. but i did get stuck about 10 yards shy of a scary metal bridge near sikorsky (helicopter factory) the second time my car caught fire. except it was freezing rain at the time. and i had to call school and explain why i wouldn't be there to take my exams that morning. i think 'the dog ate my...car keys' would have been more believable...
we're not big on public transport here in ct. at least we weren't then. it has gotten better. but so has the quality of my used cars.
santa was supposed to bring me one for christmas. fat bastard.
Hey who gives a fuck dude this is good everyone knows it
I think i mustn't be a twat because i love you poem.
