The come down comes in slow like the last dance. So we grasp our hands and pray like were being let down into unknown liquids. But mines perfect weather, in an overcast globe. So I come down and look around, to recognize nothing. The idea s that I tried to portray fell on deaf ears and eager hands. So now I’m a sham and the rest of the worlds sitting on a pretty brass with a hollow carcass. I can’t do anything but watch my words roll around like red carpets into newer venues. And me I’ll just take what was yours and call it mine the me that is the thief in the night. 10,000 Is the summarization And the number is more important than the words Because we’re all thinking to a minimum, life’s an assignment And as every hinge comes undone Down and down Further down we must go. Until I’m the truth Until you’re right Until I see what it is.
Becoming my exclamation points, overused. Re-hashed, copy, print, stamp, autograph. Till it’s passed around like a cheap drug And my come down is a wakeup call . To make me wise that I hadn’t created something for myself. But a pamphlet to measure yourself. A standardized test. I must have ****** up. Until I crash into the ground. Or I could deploy a parachute, but I need to see these ants. So I’m falling straight into the farm on my dresser. And it’s not like an assassination. I just fell on 100 bullets. Let the janitor clean me up. I tried to do something great with clay. And I did And for that I can’t ever take myself seriously again.
The come down left shivers in my bones and every synapse sunk so deep into a dim pulse that I forgot how to breathe.
