Fear itself
Novahaha Jun 2019
They say that so often,
What we as people fear most of all, is the unknown, the limits,
Whether that snake will strike
Whether that one man can change the world
Whether when I wake up today
If it'll be my last
Whether that asteroid will come more than close
Whether the darkness hides something or absolutely nothing, nothing at all
Whether when you hold on, if you even can
Whether what is at the end, of infinity, is simply just more infinity
Stretching and going and moving and existing, or perhaps not.
Yet, fear is also formed, in knowing
Knowing that snake holds venom
Knowing that anyone can be important
Knowing that there is death, seeing others succumb to it's gentle, firm grasp
Knowing that millions upon millions of years ago, lives were flickered away, if not of our own
Knowing that you cannot see, and therefore there has to be something, staring back at you
Knowing fingers slip, hearts break
Knowing that you cannot know, infinity
Knowing to be afraid. Knowing, simply, what could.
Knowing of fear itself.

Whirl
Novahaha Jun 2019
Nonsensical,
Opened up on life's tax and tole
Opened my eyes and saw 'em explode
Saw 'em explode
Classical,
Opened my watch for a musical
Opened my heart for a gaping hole
Radical,
Jazz tazz razz kinda bad
Glad mad kinda glad
Guess that's
Sad-
Whimsical,
Blue Jeans n' tripping over striped tees
Pretty dress maybe earrings
Flash bash scratch hatch
Nonsensical
(Mad glad kinda bad guess that's sad)
Pink blue every hue
Yellow green
Mellowing
Regret set wanna bet
Great idea bad idea
Woah
Woah
Woah

Comfort Zone
Novahaha Jun 2019
Over hills, over streams
Over falls, over dreams
Over mountains, over seas
Over the world, over the trees
Over and over and over,
To see what we can see.

I think I'm blind, cuz I can't find
Why everyone's a traveling
I think I'm blind, cuz I can't find
Why everyone's a going
I think I'm blind, cuz I can't find
Why everyone keeps leaving
Going,
Going, Going

Gone. Gone gone gone.

Over trenches and over heat,
Over valleys and over feats,
Over shallows and over yonder,
Over empires and over wonders,
Over and over and over,
To hear what we can hear.

I think I'm deaf, cuz I can't hear
What's so good that isn't here
I think I'm deaf, cuz I can't hear
What's so good that they disappear
Wishing,
wishing,
Wishing, wishing

Fail. Fail fail fail.

Down to the mainland, down to the south
Down to the tunnels, down to your house
Down to the bellows, down to the gleam
Down to the desperate, down to the things
Down and down and down,
To try and say what we can say.

I think that I'm mute, because I can't say
Why it's nice so far away,
I think that I'm mute, because I can't say
Why I don't want you to go away
Calling,
Calling,
Calling, calling

Whispers, whispers whispers whispers.

Down to the questions, down to the breeze
Down to the meadow, down to the reef
Down to the sky, down to the cave
Down to the north, down to the haze
To try and feel what we can feel.

I think I'm dead because I can't feel
Why the sun is such a delight
I think I'm dead because I can't feel
Why shadows give such a fright
Searching,
Searching,
Searching, searching

Lost, lost lost lost

It think I'll stay inside today
It's not so bad to hide away
What's so good about far away?

— The End —
