Aaron Mullin Dec 2014
Awaiting my orders to stand down
I roll myself another roll-your-own
Mullein style ~ Amber whisps
Shared with the wind and soil

My orders never come
So the decision is made for me
Standing orders are ******* by physical limits
I fall asleep on my feet

I stand down
By sleeping while I stand

Tough job
This is zombie work
Why do we let the vampires
Drink our blood
Just like the kids in
Art school said they would

i got soul but I'm not a soldier
Lyrics excerpted from Arcade Fire

Pulses lined sky high
Lights flashing bright like rays of the sun
Searing life into the darkest cavities
Weaving pure heavenly masses
Catching beats from every angle
Touching precise notes noises
Knowing the ***** will clean
In the buzzing I find myself
free

Bouncing circles, spheres, and whimsical bodies  
Here I am a perfect incomplete puzzle
Like a rubik cube’s algorithm suddenly everything makes sense
I have felt nothing like this before
Enticing and different
Another laser strikes the air
Breathe in oxygen

In pure ecstasy the room spins wildly
Pieces held together by exploding beats
Genuine awe strokes gently my conscious
Swallowed by the moving crowd
Feeling all the love it has for me
We are one soul riding on the waves of drum

Fluorescent lighting
Burning into my corneas
Déjà vu strikes again
Heart under feet
Mind on my sleeve
I miss you

Place me inside
Four sides all equal in size
Stare at me
Under the starry skies
On display for only you to see
Where strange, captive animals can never be free.

Sometimes dangerous
Sometimes calm
And sometimes treacherous
But mostly like a psalm

It is an ageless being
Always there, never gone
Sometimes it is agreeing
As sure as the dawn

In storms it rocks and rolls
In the calm it is a peace
But in the end, it is a soul
Who will never cease

Float above the madness
Where fate has no relevance
Dance within an array of rainbows
Faith lies in love alone
Inhale, exhale
Your heart keeps beating
Exist in moments of happiness
Caught in time that never fades
Crazy moments freely existing
Never trapped, constantly changing
Still dreaming
